Gaia, eternal and loving mother Her wealth and beauty she readily bestows She takes care of all that’s around her Everything she touches grows
She suckled man in her nurturing ******* And cradled him in her ***** for years She provides him with his every need And bathes him in her shower of tears
But man turned out to be ungrateful He grows more and more unsatisfied He sees the mother not as a giver But an object of his selfish desires
He abominably thinks of himself her master And craves and lusts upon all that she has So he rushed unto her to **** and to plunder Stripped and bared, he left her aghast
“What have you done despicable brute? You only brought ruin to yourself!” Her wailing cries are not mute; It is man who is willingly deaf
Gaia is just and a generous giver but She has her ways of avenging herself So she called upon forces to her aid And brought forth man’s destruction and death
