Overseeing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives
Rests an ancient Catholic church
Named the Lord wept, or Dominus Flevit
A blue and white teardrop atop a high perch
On this hill the Lord lamented His people
And knew of their imminent destruction
The loss of lives and the loss of the temple
Oh, if only they'd heed His instructions
The Lord's holy land
Now lays divided
As few understand
What Christ invited
A View of Jerusalem

"As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, 'If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace - but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you."
LUKE 19:41-44
