A tale of two short poetries: Which one is more poetic?

Post by Naga Tuma » 13 Apr 2024, 19:21

Several years ago, I heard the following from Debessa Guyo, an Ethiopian man from Borana: ነምን ህን ሶበ። ኡርጂን ህን ሶቡ።

It means: A human lies. A star doesn’t lie.

Recently, I heard on TV Max Holloway’s poetic quote: Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t lie.

Which one is more poetic?
