TAKE HEED TO WHAT YOU READ
by Bill Kochman

I’m just tired of so many lies,
I see them every single day,
My news feed is a deception,
What more can I really say?
A string of invented stories,
Yes, just one after the other,
Sometimes I have to wonder,
Why do I simply even bother?
Pure AI-generated nonsense,
Yet so slickly crafted indeed,
If you are not super careful,
You’ll be tricked as you read.
Very cute polar bear rescues,
Some deer caught in a fence,
Bad news about a politician,
Beware! It’s all just pretense.
So much government intrigue,
A gossip story about a celeb,
Aliens landing upon the Earth,
It’s just one big deceptive web.
Psychological manipulation,
Is the true name of their game,
Distorting our very perception,
Is really their true primary aim.
Thus please be very cautious,
With what your eyes behold,
For though it may even glitter,
Well, it is not necessarily gold.
