sorrow for Friday – v3

Sorrow for that Friday
the end of the week;
Christ speaking, weeping
for Rachel, for her children
the Chosen People
as He entered in
Jerusalem, David’s city.

Sorrow for the blood
on their heads
on His people
and on the heads of their children;
Crying for Rachel,
for Jerusalem, all of Israel,
red with the stain.
