And yet another attempt at being tolerant and ecumenical

I saw this charming little ditty at Mere Comments, here. Enjoy:

Gaia Loves Me

Gaia loves me, this I know,
For the witches tell me so:
Small ones are to her most near
As they stiffen on the bier.

Refrain:

Yes, Gaia loves me,
Yes, Gaia loves me,
Yes, Gaia loves me,
The witches tell me so.

Gaia has no hand to save
From the terrors of the grave;
Rather she's the gayest when
She consumes the sons of men. Refrain.

Gaia minds not what we do,
Whom we swindle, slay, or scr-w:
This her single easy law:
Come to thy devouring Maw. Refrain.

Though we fall to evil, she
Waits upon us patiently,
Waits her time while some poor chap
Rots the sooner from the clap. Refrain.

Look not for the tender heart
Should your little child depart:
Heart and head of stone are hers,
Image of her worshippers. Refrain.

Gaia won't discriminate:
Wide the mouth and broad the gate.
Heav'n may shut its doors to sin,
But there's room in Gaia's inn. Refrain.

Private she and most discreet,
Makes our human frailty sweet,
Decks her charnel house for trysts
Fit for fools and feminists. Refrain.

Carbonaceous is her crust;
Nothing else is human dust,
Born to wail for one brief breath
Till she mothers it to death. Refrain.

Gaia stuffs us all and some:
Cares not how her children come,
Never dainty in her feed --
Fried or stewed or fricaseed. Refrain.

Gaia loves me, I affirm,
Gaia loves the lowly worm;
Worm and maggot are her friends
In the feast that never ends.

Final Refrain:

Yes, Gaia loves me,
Yes, Gaia loves me,
Yes, Gaia loves me,
The numbskulls tell me so.
