it is what it is

it is nonsense, says reason

it is what it is, says love


it is unhappiness, says reflection

it is nothing but pain, says fear

it is hopeless, says insight

it is what it is, says love


it is ridiculous, says pride

it is frivolous, says caution

it is impossible, says experience

it is what it is, says love


Erich Fried

translated by Paul Oestreicher from the original German
