The Word of truth—a living, razor’s edge—
Swiftly cleaves the digital veil,
Dissecting webs your algorithms entrench,
Laying bare the greed beneath the tale.

Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

The Word of God stands as the unyielding sword against modern media’s illusions—cutting through spectacle and spin, exposing the profit-driven motives animating every headline.

You traffic in dazzling fictions—an angel bathed in light—
To mesmerize and ensnare, obscuring what is right.
Beneath the anchor’s poise, behind the glowing screen,
You beam into the world the most deceitful acts you’ve seen.

Psalm 101:3 (ESV)
“I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.”

Let our gaze reject the worthless and wicked. When cruelty is repackaged as glittering entertainment, society is taught to devour what ought to be reviled.

With every click and view accrued,
You monetize iniquity, make a market of pain,
You elevate the cruel with platform and name,
Transmute vice to currency, wickedness to fame.

Proverbs 16:27 (NIV)
“A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.”

To amplify the scoundrel’s voice is to stoke a fire scorching the lives of the innocent.

You masquerade as virtue, baiting crowds to click,
Burnishing the abhorrent, presenting it as news,
Stoking indignation, ensnaring us for views.

2 Corinthians 11:14 (NIV)
“And no wonder, for the devil masquerades as an angel of light.”

Evil is rarely shown as monstrous; it arrives polished and radiant, luring us with urgency, cloaked in a righteous or glamorous facade.

Each story chosen, narrative you spin,
Reveals hollow values festering within.
Algorithms devour, headlines shriek and shout—
We are weary of the venom you pour out.

Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Will you uplift what is noble, or wallow in the impure? Your choice exposes your heart.

We refuse their faces in our homes,
Or streaming through our glowing phones.
We honor the blameless, defend the just and wise—
Those who build their lives where quiet trust resides.

Proverbs 17:4 (NIV)
“A wicked person listens to deceitful lips; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.”

When algorithms elevate toxicity, they serve base appetites, not the common good.

So consign your wicked monsters to the silence they deserve;
It is not the public, but your own greed that you serve.
Extinguish the false allure—let evil fade away—
Shield the innocent who long for an untroubled day.

Romans 16:19 (NIV)
“…but I want you to be wise about what is good, and blameless about what is evil.”

We need not be enticed by sordid details to be wise. 
True discernment is safeguarding the blameless, not bathing them in the currency of false light.
