1Mc 2:15-29; Psalm 50:1-2, 5-7, 14-15; Luke 19:41-44
Jesus
you weep
over a city
that will not see
its way
to peace
not recognizing
the time
of its visitation
it is lost
to war
and terror
division
and strife
blind
to the Beauty
that guides
day and night
death
is chosen
over life
and you weep
we weep with you
