Watching Creed III



Two punky kids at Liquor Store
Rumble ensues with an enemy
One draws gun
The other runs.
Cops arrive to witness.
One pulls twenty years
In the joint.
Other named Adonis
Grows in pros Boxing.
Gets the belt, luxuries.
Beautiful wife, daughter
One, name’s Damien
Gets his release.
Seeks out Adonis
In beggarly fashion.
Has hidden motive.
The champ’s belt.
Battle of Los Angeles
Damien versus Adonis. Whammo
And then Whammo again
Hardened men.
Both in a Pen.
Time comes, friends again.

    Not just casual talk. There must be something that moves the inner man. Then filtered by the Holy Ghost for the asking. Things become a beautiful inner dialogue of whispers. And then whammo. Happened with that movie. Many powerful moments on friendship, betrayal, unforgiveness, guilt, reconciliation . All meaty stuff of Life. Sounds a little but spooky. NOT.

    It’s impressive that you can iterate about anything & I already want to be mentored by you lol. I can only write when emotion is involved.
