Don'T Fit the Narrative
The poor man’s name was David Dorn,
he was murdered by rioters,
trying to defend his friend’s business,
but the reaction quite disturbed.
The media wouldn’t say his name,
all mention of it soon was dropped,
since Dorn was a good family man,
and ‘worst’ of all, a retired cop.
Such people do not help the left,
no boost did the man’s demise give,
so this man’s loss was forgotten,
he didn’t fit the narrative.
Her name was Jessica Whitaker,
and she said that, “All lives mattered.”
Because she disagreed with some
she was shot dead, cruelly murdered.
Her three-year-old lost a mother,
and her fiancé lost his love,
but she was pale and believed ‘wrong,’
so no media picked it up.
She wasn’t a chosen ‘victim,’
and she had the wrong adjectives,
they would not speak of this great crime,
she didn’t fit the narrative.
His name was Cannon Hinant and
he was a boy, just five years old,
when his neighbor chose to murder him,
and leave his tiny body cold.
Such a vicious and savage act,
but the media had no time,
Cannon was white, his killer black,
so they said nothing, acted blind.
Had the skin colors been reversed,
we’d hear nothing but their missives,
only ‘some’ lives are worth reporting,
he didn’t fit the narrative.
Objective, ha! That’s such lie,
they’re propagandists through and through,
and you’ll be pushed aside quickly
if you don’t help their point of view.
They tried to hide cities aflame,
bathe us all in their deception,
if the full truth might hurt the left,
if it might cost them an election.
Horrific crimes they’ll push aside,
as if these victims never lived,
God damn the mainstream media
and their partisan narratives.
These people deserve to be remembered.
