Weeping Again

"My people have chosen
the lies and myths
of the one who steals,
kills and destroys.

'Return to love and mercy!' I cry,
but they mock My values
and accuse My messengers
of being against Me.

They can only see the myth
of their righteous foundation
and that all they have done is
justified in the name of freedom.

What can I tell them that
has not already been written?

In the name of temple and nation
My Son was mocked and rejected.
If the Master was treated this way,
won't they treat His servants the same?

I weep again for the
city they have become."
