#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?
