And Such Is Our Life Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

There is not any easy thing and
There is not any difficult thing, but
There is something that goes in-between them
And it is mixed between
What is easy and
What is difficult...
The easy thing goes its way
Just to find what is required and
The difficult thing goes the other way
Just to find what is required...
Easy things go smoothly, but
Difficult things go badly and
That mixture of those easy things and
Those of difficult things go
The way that is directed by us...
Neither easy things
Nor difficult things achieve our goals
Simply because we are divided between
Two ways anytime and
Such is our life.
