Answer:

The Father is the point of view

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jamaican poet Mervyn Morris published "Little Boy Crying" in his 2006 collection I Been There, Sort Of. The poem takes place immediately after a father has slapped his young son. Although readers aren't sure what led to this situation, it soon becomes clear that the father regrets the way he has treated his son.
