Trust (the movie)

Last night I went to the premier of the movie, Trust.  You probably have not yet heard of it, it comes out April 1st, directed by David Schwimmer (yes from Friend's), and with a great cast, Clive Owen and Catherine Keener and new comer Liona Liberato.  It was a heavy movie, one that makes you think, and one that makes you cry.  Without telling you too much of the plot, it is a story about a family, they are close and normal, and their teenage girl who becomes friendly with someone on Facebook.  She basically falls in love with a guy on facebook, and when they actually meet, the guy is like 20 years older than her, and rapes her.  And then, it is how the family deals with the tragedy afterwards.  The 14 years old girl is really good in it, so I would recommend the movie for that alone, but, I would recommend it to parents and kids alike who could be victim to this horrible situation, one that happens more often than not.
Men, men, men.  MEN. Men provide safety for woman, sometimes.  Men protect us, make us feel loved and adored, sometimes.  Men provide security, companionship, and strength, sometimes.  BUT, men are creeps, sometimes.  Men manipulate, sometimes.  Men take advantage of young girls who look up to them and need their love and guidance, sometimes.  Men are selfish and only out for themselves, sometimes.  Men lie and cheat and have secret lives, sometimes.  Men do not care as much as they want woman to believe, sometimes.  Men take advantage, sometimes. Men steal the innocence of woman, sometimes.  So, that is what happened in this movie, and as much as I love men and all the men are in MY life, sometimes, men can be horrible creatures (as can woman, but this is my blog and I am only talking about men now :) )  ...
                
              ALL IN A MAN


There I was, born close to heart
There we were young, naked and free
You hugged me close, I shut my eyes
There I was, safe to be.

I danced on grass, played in the trees
Sang to the wind, innocent and free.
You hugged me close, I shut my eyes
There I was, safe to be.

I had my hands to mold the clay
I gave my body to the wind
I had my hands to close and pray
It was me, innocent in soul.

One day passed, it marked my brain
One day drifted, it scarred my heart
That one day, it was all in a man
That one day, he chopped my hands.
      All in a man, he sold my hands
      All in a man, I became a sin
      All in a man, I lost my hands
      The pink turned blue, I had nothing to do
      The pink turned blue, I could not Do.
There I was, handless and crippled
The life I knew was gone and sold
I sat back, my innocence bore sin
I had no more hands to hold and mold

I ran to the city, looking for work
I had to find what I could do
I got some money to show my soul
They said, for money, my sin could do

But I was blind, I could not see
In this state, how was I to be?
But I was empty, sold to a man
He promised money, but no more hands
  
That man took it all, sold me to dust
That man took it all, gave me away
That man seemed strong, wise and safe
That man, my father, let money sin his sway

I could not do, and still today
I cannot do with my hands away
I wish you could see that I was once free
That I was once, safe just to be

Not now, not ever, it’s gone forever
My hands are lost, taken by a man
All in a man, he sold my hands
All in man he chopped my hands

Today, what does it all mean?
Money over me, that was his dream
His dream took much worth over me
Yes, that’s it, money over me

Money over me, sin paid his way
Money over me, it’s over, I’m not free
Money over me, sin paid his way
Money over me, I'll never be free.
