#prayforparis, but...

01:01


Just two days before Paris,
Lebanon was attacked
People stayed careless 
And the world turned its back 
And people of the  world were clueless, that's a fact

They say it was the worst attack since the civil war
Targeted at Shia Muslims who had done no harm before 
I didn't see #prayforlebonon trending 
For those lives that had a horrid ending

Suicide bombers discarding their vests 
Stole 40 lives and bodies put to rest 
I never heard this from any news outlet 
Makes it seem like that tragedy wasn't counted

Two days later terrorists spread the city 
That everyone loves, only then people began to pity 
The president of Canada and the president of America stood to speak
The whole world came together and began to weep

Fingers pointed at the religion that preaches peace
Fingers pointed at the Syrian refugees 
Who are fleeing the same attacks 
Don't let them fool you
All the Muslim countries suffering are also on the map

That try to tell you Isis is Islamic
But not that 92% of their victims are Muslims
I must confess
The attacks they commit are only tragic 
When it happens somewhere in the west

Again two days later 20 bombs dropped 
In Syria, the little boy washed on shore 
everyone seemed to have forgot 
The city of dust that is covered with rubble 
Where people were just trying to recover 
Was where a plane of bombs took a trip 
To a place that's paying for a crime 
They didn't commit

I'm not saying don't pray for Paris 
Don't misinterpret my words 
But stories of lost lives are just waiting for the time to be heard
Instead their names and stories get zero mention
While attacks less vicious get full attention

Media only pick and choose 
What they want you to know 
You never always know the whole truth 
At lying their a pro

In a matter of 6 days how many tragedies?
The grief and suffering of countless families 
Out of 3 Which did you hear about most 
Which tragedy on social media had the most posts? 
Why are some lives more important than others


While some lives the world just never gets to discover?
