Who Will Cry for the Little Boy? By Antwone Fisher

[ 18 ] November 26, 2007 | Matthew Henrickson

Antwone Fisher is a great poet, and one of my favorites. I’ve read his book and own his poetry book. If you haven’t read them I strongly recommend you do.

Who will cry for the little boy?
By Antwone Fisher

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 again and 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

      I am watching the movie based on Antwone’s life with Denzel Washington. His childhood much like my own. My poetry much like his. ‘Who Will Cry for the Little Boy’ is an extraordinary poem. It shuddered my soul and tightened my throat. I’m glad I found Antwone.

      This poem has been an inspiration to me everyday. I repeat it at least once a-day and it helps me cope with things. It has helped me calm down 2when I was incarcerated in jail for a year and a half. And if it helped me ands brought peace to me I am positive that it will do the same for you!
