A lazy invalid afternoon. Did some reading, dwindled around in my room and ended up in front of my tv watching a great movie. The title of this movie is called Antwone Fisher, starring and directed by talented Denzel Washington.
"Antwone Fischer" is inspired by a true story. It is an inspirational one, the struggle and triumph of a young man over incredible odds. It speaks of redemption and a spirit of perseverance, both qualities that we can never get enough in today's society. I am especially tugged by one of the poems, but some of you may find it superficial and overly-saccharine.
"Who will cry for the little boy, lost and all alone?
Who will cry for the little boy, abandoned without his own?
Who will cry for the little boy? He cried himself to sleep.
Who will cry for the little boy? He never had for keeps.
Who will cry for the little boy? He walked the burning sand.
Who will cry for the little boy? The boy inside the man.
Who will cry for the little boy? Who knows well hurt and pain.
Who will cry for the little boy? He died and died again.
Who will cry for the little boy? A good boy he tried to be.
Who will cry for the little boy, who cries inside of me?"
