SILENT VOICES SPEAK: 06/07/13

MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

GAZING AT THE CALENDAR by Jason Townsend

Time is a trauma

Keep your eyes on the clock

And it ticks away

In a way that time mocks

Time is a drama

Spider webs in your mind

Time's never a comma

And it keeps you in line

There's nothing to fear

As time marches on

At the calendar you leer

And in a moment...time's gone.

-Jason Townsend
