Greg Braquet
Self-Evidence

Earth took of Earth:

Self-fulfilling, self- revelation,

A natural selection was made.



Earth gave of Earth:

Self-sacrificing, self-rejuvenation,

A balance was struck.



Earth grew of Earth:

Self-perpetuating, self-generation,

The epiphany continued…



Till, Earth’s most advanced child

Became Earth:

Self-serving, self-justification



Earth kills of Earth:

Self-deceiving, self-annihilation,

It is the way of things.



Earth ask of Earth:

Self-righting? Self-purification?

The questions remain.



Earth:

Self-winding, self-determination,

Earth moves in mysterious ways.
