GETTING THERE

GETTING THERE
by Mark Sargent
Being the patriarch means you can
turn to one of the young men
seated around the fire and say,
“Now you should roll a great big joint.”

  1. “Originally a patriarch was a man who exercised autocratic authority as a pater familias over an extended family. The system of such rule of families by senior males is called patriarchy. This is a Greek word, a composition of πατήρ (pater) meaning “father” and ἄρχων (archon) meaning “leader”, “chief”, “ruler”, “king”, etc.” [Wikipedia].
    I love how language transforms over time and is redefined to our own connotations or ‘owned’ according to our personal world of experience. I’ll be sure to puff, puff, pass, this piece around! thx!
