FUTURE PERFECT WORKSHOPS
with 1,300 Chicago area Youth

The five years of Future Perfect Project Workshops (from 2014-2019)
were entirely funded by a grassroots campaign generating
donations from individuals and local organizations.
Thanks to all who supported and participated in this program.

“Transcendence” 
 
Transcendence.
What we’ve done before 
doesn’t serve us anymore.
 
Like a tree’s unwanted leaves
my tears fall down.
Like broken-heart shaped needles
my tears fall down.
Transcendence.
 
I pray for a better day
I may never see.
I cry myself to sleep,
I need help along my way.
 
Transcendence.
What we do today
The world is yearning for.
 
 Transcendence.
