John Griswold Poem
"A Spiritual walk"
as i lay here tonight
i fight in my plight
blooming within the night
like a beautiful dance across the light
the universe within my sight
a mixture of both pain & gain
this is where life will remain
to add color to the future
the giver gave his name
to escape the knowledge that was plain
freedom is what we gained
but only to remember is what was asked
remember remember the past
to be thankful for what lasts
love in you, shall not pass
despite the fragile frame
and the hallow shame
you are what remains
t can help release you from these chains
and give you a purpose to smile when it rains
thunder sparks the soul
you just have to hear it roll
and with the sands of time and warmth called life
patience can cleanse the back of knifes
by day and by night
we are usually out of sight
fighting for whats right
or faithful in Gods sight
the kingdoms in the heart
this is the focus of our art
love is the footprints of our start......

John Griswold Poem
God , i ask you to take me off the shelves
I dont wanna be for resale
But up front for your details
Im not just about the sweet tales
I talk about the three nails
And im frustrated cause it just seems like cheap fails
I wanna see people grow
And sometimes it just seems so slow
I feel like Gods tryin to call some dudes
But theyve been acting like the croods
Slaving for fans
And their sin is what gratifies their inner mans
But Is it all about their own plans
I know you got them in your hands
But i cant just let it be
Are they dying to their old ways
Or are they still in their present days
Im not about the fancy word plays
Im giving you my honest expression
Im stressn
I dont write music cause its cool
I do it to reach kids who are a cultural tool
What do we leave behind for these kids
Is it just to showem how to be a fool
Or how to focus and not worry about being cool
I know the standard is pretty demanding
But the outcome...
Its pretty outstanding
