FROM whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:1-4

The Virtue Hustle

By the Ghost Harbor Depths Bureau

She was ghosted like a vapor,

And left without a sound

Said it was honor, integrity,

But it smelled like background.

Claimed virtue over vanity,

But her mirror cried fame,

Her inbox flooded with follow-backs

And blue-tick acclaim.

Spoke of morals like scripture,

Chose hashtags for her hymns,

But loyalty got throttled

When the checklists looked slim.

She preached principles-righteous,

Said “I won’t compromise,”

But her exit cue was greenbacks

Shaped like dollar signs.

Built bridges with her bio,

Burned ‘em with a brand deal,

Turned silence into gospel

To boost her highlight reel.

Integrity was her costume,

Tailored for applause,

But behind the stitched convictions

Was a thirst with no pause.

Now she’s posing on platforms

Where truth’s just a theme

A cameo crusader

In pursuit of the dream.

So keep your receipts, beloved,

Keep your grace and your flame.

Some leave with halos,

Others chasing name.

This ain’t hate, it’s clarity,

A verse with no disguise

Even ghosts leave footprints

When they monetize their lies.
