Who will cry for the little boy

This is one of many silver screen moments i truly relished..
It's honest ..at the same time poetic..
How he managed to pull it off .. i still remain clueless..
In the movie Antwone Fisher(based on a true story) directed by Denzel Washington.
Antwone ( who never had any parents) recites a poem to his psychiatrist.
Maybe text doesn't have that effect compared to moving images but still the poem is beautiful and pain striken...


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, who never had it for keeps

Who will cry for the little boy, who walked on burning sands
Who will cry for the little boy, the boy inside a man

Who will cry for the little boy, who knew well hurt and pain
Who will cry for the little boy, who 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
