Hear Us

Wailing Wall

Tonight I went to the Wailing Wall
And heard a mother scream
Haunting silence
Sliced clear through
As we all stood staring
Praying
Raising desperate hopes
That it wasn’t true
Again
But it was
And it is
And hearts continue to shred with pangs
Of when
And why
And how
Can we make this stop
Tonight I went to the Wailing Wall
And heard a mother scream
