Their work includes a shared group poem, “We Mean What We Say,” and two thoughtful story projects: “Hidden Violence Within Us” and “Genesis of Transformation.” Together, they explore how quiet injustices and small daily choices can shape a whole future.

Genesis of Transformation

In “Genesis of Transformation,” a single day is told through the clock from a whispered morning prayer, to walks through the community, to school challenges, to quiet gratitude at night. It shows how small routines, family warmth, and determined study slowly shape who a young person is becoming, one ordinary day at a time.

We Mean What We Say

In this collective poem, The Philosophicals speak with honesty about what they feel, see, and believe. Their words are a quiet promise: when they talk about justice, change, or hope, they are not just performing — they mean it.
