Shed a tear for the Mikdash
Shed a tear for us guys
This time, let it be different
Let those tears roll down from your eyes

If the Mikdash was standing
Would we be in this mess?
Would we need a phone conference?
Would we need the 12 steps?

The Mikdash – with its glory
The Heavenly Presence will be clear
No need for any Tapshiks
Or Nedarim to fear

Every day with the Mikdash
To Hashem we would praise
We wouldn’t bother ourselves
With a count of 90 days.

A Mikdash with Korbanos
To offer Above
And there would be no requirement
To fast on Tisha b’Av

With the Shechina around us
There would be no place else to look
No need to Guard our Eyes
Or to read the handbook

The Nevi’im would guide us
Teach us the ropes
Maybe they’d even
Preach from Dov’s quotes

Can you imagine the feeling
When your thoughts are so pure
Instead of that yetzer
Our minds trying to lure

Satan locked up
Can’t get out of his chain
We could daven Shemoneh Esrei
Our machashavos are ‘rein’

Learning an hour
We could do with no fuss
We wouldn’t be bothered
With our addiction to lust

So Rabbosai cry out
This year is the last
We can accomplish
Our obsession has passed

We wanna move forward
Like a shark or a chopper
We are all looking
For that potential stopper

V’lirushalayim Ircha
B’rachamim tashuv
I hope that this poem
Made you stir, made you move

Ribbono shel Olam
Our bodies are yours
Let’s be zoche to Binyan haBayis
So to You, we can serve

Very touching!!

Rav Shimshon Pincus explains that, even though we speak about all the tzoros that occurred during the churban. The greatest sorrow for klal yisrael however, was, to have lost the connection to the RBS'O. Even while klal yisrael was being beaten mercy less and going thru inhumane pain, the pain of having lost the bond to hashem was far greater. With no beis hamikdash lost clarity. With no neviim and no beis hamikdosh we are like drunks in the darkness. There is no clear path. We only hope that we are doing the right choices. But we can never be 100% sure.

Chadesh Yomeinu Kekedem
