Luwi Titus Poet Lyric

I Am a Man

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.
