VISION QUILT VOICES
We may never know the coming future
Nor can we ever change the past.
But let’s make the best of things as we endure
For nothing’s ever permanent;
Nothing can forever last.
Excerpt from poem titled, "Trying Times" by May M. Phyu
On this page, we want to honor the voices of our youth that come to us in the form of the written word, poetry, videos, and visual art. Young people express their hopes and fears in creative ways and Vision Quilt wants to highlight their talents, help inspire others and most importantly: ignite positive change in this world.
Walk Like A Visionary
Welcome to the "Walk Like A Visionary" blog!
This space is dedicated to the poetry and rap creations of individuals who are using their words to envision a safer, more compassionate community. Inspired by our group activity, these poems reflect personal and collective aspirations for a world free from gun violence.
It’s more than just a writing exercise—it’s a movement. Through poetry, participants express their hopes and ideas for safer neighborhoods, channeling their creativity into powerful messages of peace and change. Each poem is a reflection of a unique vision for the future.
