Great mother of all
on her day, she wails.
A crude joke, heavenly gods
left her clutching ungrateful offspring
her ample bosom ravaged.
Whoa! She cautions
milk supply is insufficient
to feed the ever-growing numbers.
Nipples cracked and bleeding
gaping maw continues
to suck her dry.
Be merciful to the innocent:
rocks, clouds, streams, glaciers
and all creatures that partake
for survival.
Gaia generous in nature
bellows refusing to be abused
by the amused.
On her day, she wails
for anyone with ears
to hear her cries.
