Jerusalem

I’ve been rebuilt.
Walls torn down countless times.
With each wall that goes up
another ruin is discovered
by some sharp-minded searcher
digging deeper than advised.
Someone who won’t follow the rules
has found and plundered hidden
jewels and now my love
shining for you bright and louder
than the shouts of the prophets
rendered false amidst
the atrocities unfeeling and unfelt.
