Listen To All But Do Not Believe All
By Freeyad Ibrahim (Hugo)
Ahlam Mosteghanemi attacked the man
and warned women against him,
but she got married 4 times!
Mahmoud Darwish attacked Israel in his poetry
But his girlfriend was Israeli!
Dale Carnegie-Alif wrote: (Let Worry and Start Your Life)
But he died by suicide!
Jean-Jacques wrote books on education,
but he deposited his children in an orphanage!
Al-Mutanabbi said about himself that
the sword and the desert know me..
but he was too cowardly to raise his sword to confront his killer.
Conclusion:
Read Everything, BUT Don't Believe Everything
The world is full of lies
