What Is Reality?

That which you can perceive through your senses That which your mind constructs within the present tenses That is what reality is made of That which the mind can conceive and the heart can believe That which the hand can create, construct and achieve That is what reality is made of Different people with different perceptions Different perceptions with different expectations This also is what reality is made of Where you choose to live is governed by laws Break those laws and you are punished for your flaws This is what harsh reality is made of If we exist then so does God the creator We will learn the truth of that sooner or later This is what the ultimate reality is made of.
