Patriarchy

The village head summoned the meeting The elders, the sons, the warriors came greeting Sitting on a round table all eating Great minds at work in this honorable seating Talks of hunting errands Arranged marriages Scheduled rituals Protection from rivalry tribes Flew and grew With each beer Pulling up his pants that were almost to the ground Joining his peers for another round The boys having all the time, rarely deficient of sound Boisterous, trivial matters, not ashamed of being loud Another day of missed responsibilities Wasted abilities Occasional crime activities Where are the fathers, where are the father figures Society in pieces Endangered species Patriarchy contest 7/4/2015 Sponsor: Thomas Martin
