What is it?

What it is?

It is madness, says reason
It is what it is, says love.

It is unhappiness, says caution
It is nothing but pain, says fear
It has no future, says insight
It is what it is, says love.

It is ridiculous, says pride
It is foolish, says caution
It is impossible, says experience
It is what it is, says love.
