...a poet and
songwriter for the
ages - influenced by the singer/songwriters of the 60's & 70's
Griffin
has a unique world view that challenges each of us to 'question our
purpose' for leaving our footsteps on this planet.
His lyrics range
from the challenges of a diverse world and reflections on war, to the
thoughts of Lovers in happiness & peace. |
The Ballad of Flight 007
is the story of mothers, fathers - and children dying for the pride of
empires.
It was a Korean airliners shot
down by the Russians then - but there is always another empire - another
war - to take its place.
"How many more graves must we
dig" or just a few of the words that will cause you to reassess your
place in the world.
The ballad is timeless - the
words are haunting - be sure and add it to your collection today.

Dr.
Griffin follows in the
footsteps of Kahil Gibran and is
indeed -
"The Teacher" for the
ages.

Partial Lyrics:
Listen to the tale of Flight 007 and the
sounds are from Hell.
It was flying the skies one September day
when a Russian Mig fired away. ..
The trial wasn't long not the jury fair;
the price they paid was more then their share.
Bodies & ashes flung for miles;
all for the missile that didn't go wild...
Truth evades the eyes & ears.
See the baby hug her mother's breast;
the little boy so proud with wings on his chest.
Death is blind and mostly unkind;
Listen my children and you can hear;
bullets bursting round' your ears. |

Senator Jesse Helms on his last meeting with passengers Noelle and
Stacey Grenfell
(from a statement issued to the International Committee for the Rescue
of KAL 007
Survivors, Inc., on Feb. 13, 2002):
“I’ll never forget that night when that plane was just beside ours at
Anchorage
airport with two little girls and their parents.
I taught them, among other things, to say I love you in deaf language,
and the
last thing they did when they turned the corner was stick up their
little hands
and tell me they loved me.
I’ll never forget that, and I know you won’t.” |
