Haiku responding to Rom 13:8-14
Be in debt to none
except to love each other;
love fulfils the law.
Respect marriage, don't
steal, murder or covet; laws
are covered by love.
Love will do no wrong
to a neighbour, therefore love
fulfils all the law.
The time has now come;
it's time that we all woke up,
salvation draws near!
The night's been dismissed,
the day's near; throw off dark works,
put on light's armour.
Walk in the light; steer
clear of drunkenness, cheap sex,
quarrels, jealousy.
Cloth yourself in Christ;
you won't need to gratify
your fleshly desires.
But let's end with love,
where we started. Get that right
and all else follows.
