LOVE TALK


Can you help me? I asked.
"Jesus loves you", you said.

We have needs, hopes and dreams, I said
"You're God's children", you said.

We're educated and we're skilled…
"Jesus loves you too," you said.

We want real community here and now…
"Heaven will be paradise," you said.

We want to work, good work, whole work…
"Jesus died for you", you said.

We're homeless and lonely…
"There's a shelter down the road," you said.

We need compatible dates, good dates, quality dates…
"Church is at 11am on Sunday," you said.

We want to love, deep love, whole love…
"God is love", you said.

We want sex, good sex, and whole sex…
"Lets talk about love," you said.
