Who To Trust

Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody." 
~ John Churton Collins

When the truths hit some speakers and listeners , 
dead bodies clap their hands. 
Quote by poet

Happy is a person who doesn't have  problem to hear 
some truths which point his " her" good ways of life 
and few mistakes  than to be always comforted with lies. 
When some racists ask," are we good folks?" 
Why saying " YES, " then feeling  guilty later? 

It is a big risk to trust some hypocrites in life, 
Imagine about a person who has a racist boss
and continue to praise his " her" racial discrimination because of  fearing to lose his " her " job while his " her"  heart  burning due to daily ill - treatments. 
Imagine about some folks  who praising some unjust people because they want somethings from them while their hearts are burning because of injustice. 

If speaking the truth is a sin
Then no one will go to heaven 

Yes.........................yes.....................yes!
Nobody will reach the heavenly places.

many evil people pray to be hearing positive
 speeches about them while it is impossible.
A killer 
       After killing 
                         Still wishing 
                                             To be calling 
                                                             A blesser. 
Is it easy for someone to get a good name 
          Which he " she " doesn't work for? 
calling some  racist, antagonist, xenophobic and 
tribalist folks " good people " to get their likes
               or "supports" ..... yoh!

Many wise people will continue to laugh 
wherever they hide on this planet Earth.
