Day 202 prompt: Patriotic

I looked up
patriotic …
devoted to
the fatherland

I wondered why not
matriotic …
devoted to
the motherland

I looked up
motherland …
another word
for fatherland

I looked up
fatherland …
one’s native country
or the land
of one’s ancestors

Perhaps women
were devoted to
sisterandbrotherland …
coining families
not words
that day
