Are folks meant to be used
And things meant to be loved?
Or…
Are folks meant to be loved
And things meant to be used?

The opposite of love ain’t hate
It’s “use“, called also “lust“
Says lust, “I’ll take for me, I must!”
Says love, “I’ll give”; “I’ll wait”

Says love, “This is my body…” (1)
“…my blood poured out for you”
“So you must also do…”
Wash feet; serve EVERYbody
