Luwi Titus Poem
And so I write.
I come to terms that commas stop to begin,
full stops to an end,
writing with all I've said.
Don't mind it if its not made sense.
I continue.
Questions to what I may not ask
Scripting to what someone may read as the past
Thinking to thoughts towards thickening plots
Time ticking
I'll remind you of this nonsense
At times I'll be by my table
Alone because it is what I am able to
Regardless of anyone else's thought
Silent as though I have fought
Till it starts with a thought
Then I'll write, what ever comes to my mind.

Luwi Titus Poem
I am a man
I am the bearer of our name
I am in part the maker of my fam
I lead by behaviour and stature
I lead with and not by fame
I am a man
Not by my stance to a toilet
Not to the raising of my hand
I am not culturally inclined
Not by weight of adultery
Nor mistreatment of an other
I am not a man by group, sect or activity
I am a man
by my independence
By confidence
By honesty
Respect and loyalty
I model my father in good or bad stead
I am a man
As I do not need to raise my voice
As I margin a future
Am forgiven in moments unceremonious
I forgive not for Ego
Only in being a hero
Am away from childish activity
Transition to being thee
I listen to both women and girls
Mannerisms
I am both gentle and hard
Rough and clean
Kind and mean
I am me, myself, a family
Brother, protector and a human being
I am a man.

Luwi Titus Poem
I write to you with nothing
I write to you not knowing who I am in you
I write to you with just thoughts, ideas of the ideal man
Dear father I write to you in prayer, with my knees on the floor, in thought and with hands in the air
Father I sing to you
I praise you and see your hand everywhere
Father I write to you with tears and a pain only flesh may bleed to please
Father I see you seeing us from heaven and in wonder that you have left your son in each of our hearts, leaving us wondering how much we mean as your sons on Earth.
Father Oh how great thou art, crafted in living
How much you mean to us.
Dear loving Father.
A father who motivates, greatness in morals and being an example
Dear Father oh how you have molded me in age, vision and in your xyz of principles
Father I watch you in awe
Watching your chess moves of living and being the king of our home.
Tat'omdala indoda which knows to respect and love
A Father I hope to be, how I mean to be you and walk in your enormous shoes
How much you mean to us.
Dear Father who isn't there.
How much I mourn your presence.
Dear Father how could you let me hang in a flag of colourless colour as I motivate to motivate being a man.
Dear Father how much I mean to have seen you hold me and just say four letter.
Dear Father I write to you with my tears and emptiness
In my pain of hoping I may finally have someone I look like, who may correct my wrongs
How much you mean to me.
Dear selfish Father
Oh how I hate you
Dear Father may you be blessed in a terrible sorrow
Father I write to you hoping you'd just say sorry and not return as it is you I scorn
Oh father who abused and hit my mother in days of intoxication
Oh father who never gave me anything, not even a name
Oh how much your actions of pain have removed the manliness in man
How much you mean to me
Dear future fathers.
May money and pride never seem to appetise you
Fathers may you be real men who love their daughters and duplicates enough to mold them into real instruments of a better world
Dear future men, may morals still be applicable to you in spite of all this twerking and foolish deeds
Dear men I write to you for you to love and honour your wives
And to continue growing as I honour how much you mean you to me.
