After I Peter 5:5-7
It's countercultural.
In a time and place
when we celebrate,
elevate, venerate
youth, dismissing
the aged as over
and done, they’ve
had their day,
confining them
in homes with
their own, safely
put away, out
of harm’s way,
out of our way,
out of sight, it’s
countercultural
to say, to think,
to act like elders
not only matter
but that we should
also be subject
to them. But that’s
the command: be
subject to them.
