There is a wailing
few can hear
Amidst the wailing
at the Western Wall.
It is not for the destruction
of God's temple once there.
It is not for the crumbling
of the wall still standing, so rare.
It is not for answers to
prayer
offered up by everyone.
It is not for the Messiah
who it is said is still to come.
It is with hearts breaking
over the irony of it all,
Lovers of God reaching out
through an ancient wall,
Praying for salvation due
it just seems odd,
When you have the real One,
the True Temple of God.
So, what happens to all
the prayers on paper
Stuck in the dusty cracks
left for God to answer?
Wall workers poke them down
with long wooden sticks,
And bury them in the ground,
with all the other relics.
