They lambasted those behind the Paris massacre, while extending their support to the victims of the unfortunate attack. But amid the outcry for Paris, Beirut -- which also played victim to an ISIS attack just the day before -- lay forgotten.
A similar callous attitude was what Baghdad got, which has been under continuous terrorist attacks. Like many have said, it's probably because of the sad truth that 'these things just happen there'.
It was this hard-hitting dichotomy of outrage and unconcern that's reflected in a poem posted by Indian-origin blogger Karuna Ezara Parikh on Twitter -- which instantly went viral.
