The Actuality

What happens —
Despite efforts — commitments
Intentions
Must —
Have greater fidelity
To actuality —

Than resolutions
Efforts
Intentions —

That serve their purpose
The most — the best —
Through crashing — breaking —
Dissolving

In the face of — what happens
The actuality —

The reality — of actuality —
Is entirely constructed —
Filtered
Through countless lenses
Interpretable —
Endlessly

The actuality —
Reality — as actuality —
Is stark —
As sun — obvious —
As rain

Maxims — to be maxims
Must draw
Their truths
From reality — the actuality —

Else — they are morals
Like —
Do no harm —
Non-violence —

That veil reality —
The amoral actuality —
Reckless —
Uncaring about feelings —
Good, or bad
In equal measures —
Destroying —
As creating

Outside of slumber — imagination —
Reality — what happens —
The actuality —
Grants no one —
Any day — anywhere
Middle ground —
Middle path

Its terms of engagement
Are absolute —
Intentions must —
Will submit — to reality
The actuality —
To what happens

What happens — is neither
Good, nor right
It is —
What must
