Some people are like the moon - they are seen as flawless and are admired, because many have sung their praises. But upon closer inspection, the truth is there to be seen. When something - or someone - has been admired for a long time, people no longer question their admiration. It is taken for granted and expected. There is a good lesson to be learned from this poem. Do not listen to the praises of others, but take a close look for yourself and then decide if it is worthy of the praise. Well written, Kassem.
