TAKE HEED TO WHAT YOU READ<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just tired of so many lies,
\nI see them every single day,
\nMy news feed is a deception,
\nWhat more can I really say?<\/p>\n

A string of invented stories,
\nYes, just one after the other,
\nSometimes I have to wonder,
\nWhy do I simply even bother?<\/p>\n

Pure AI-generated nonsense,
\nYet so slickly crafted indeed,
\nIf you are not super careful,
\nYou\u2019ll be tricked as you read.<\/p>\n

Very cute polar bear rescues,
\nSome deer caught in a fence,
\nBad news about a politician,
\nBeware! It\u2019s all just pretense.<\/p>\n

So much government intrigue,
\nA gossip story about a celeb,
\nAliens landing upon the Earth,
\nIt\u2019s just one big deceptive web.<\/p>\n

Psychological manipulation,
\nIs the true name of their game,
\nDistorting our very perception,
\nIs really their true primary aim.<\/p>\n

Thus please be very cautious,
\nWith what your eyes behold,
\nFor though it may even glitter,
\nWell, it is not necessarily gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
