The 'Paris Attacks' poem that's gone viral.

At number 28 on this week's 5live Hitlist was the terrorist attack in Beirut. One day before the Paris attacks, the massive terrorist attack in Lebanon killed at least 41 people but barely received any media attention. Blogger Karuna Ezara Parikh wrote a poem about it that went viral - and within a couple of days it had been shared 38,000 times on Facebook. She feels there is a hypocricy in the world's disproportinate support for Paris and wishes that all victims of terrorist attacks were thought of with the same empathy.
