Tell This To My Son Poem by Adams Elizabeth Oyarese

Say it over and over again
To every male who cares to listen
That he is a knight to defend every Lady
To respect her words, feelings and body

Beseech him to lust not in idle sights
Or plot evil in the darkest nights
Raise him up from his childhood
To obtain pleasure in noble livelihood

Teach him that the contents of his heart
Should be richer than those of his wallet
That promises made are meant to be kept
And a man is only a man when he owns up to his debts
