Haiku of
essentials.
They were arguing
as do the
theologians
of all descriptions.
The greatest
command;
do you really need
to ask?
You know what it is.
It is always love.
The only thing that
matters.
All else is detail.
When they practise
love,
the ones who pretend
wisdom;
then all is made
new.
So many liars,
claiming to be the
greatest,
but lacking in love.
The PM, scoffing
at ‘unfunded
empathy.’
Does love need
funding?
The modern-day
scribes
still crave places
of honour;
and forget to love.
Generous loving;
never in fashion.
Today
it’s all about me.
Even the widows
are more generous
with love
than those who are
rich.
