[Avodah] kinnot and churban habayit

[Eli Turkel]

Let me repeat a question from last year when I was not too happy
with the answers.

If one examines both Eicha and the kinnot there is in fact very
little emphasis on the physical destruction of the bet hamikdash.
The emphasis in Eicha and followed in the kinnot is on the
destruction of the city of Jerusalem which is now desolate and more
on the loss of life of both the general populace and special
individuals.

OTOH after the avodah of YK there are a number of beautiful
piyyutim on the loss of the bet hamikdash and the various utensils.

why is there so little mention of the actual destruction on tisha ba-av?
