Murder In the First

kevin bacon, he played henry young, the credit didnt come, it was so unsung, what a great role, he had to play, it must of effected him, in so many ways, to see such pain, henry went through, it could happen to any man, me, him or you, the crime was not murder, but he had to steal, to feed his sister, just to get a meal, all them years stuck on the rock, all it was, was a concerete block, henry did eventually kill, in the end, but he killed a bad man, not a friend, all them years and to never be freed, he did the crime for food, not for greed, this is a film, stuck in my mind, the answer for this mis-justice, i just cannot find, henry i hope its better living up above, we know you didnt steal for greed, but you did it for love, love of your little sister.
