In honor of ASNE's upcoming benefit concert on Sunday, May 2nd, STAND UP FOR SCORES, please enjoy ASNE poet-athlete Daniel M's poem "Silence," an ode to the necessity of music and the power of voice.
Silence
Silence is something that I can’t do
It can’t be taught in words or books
Silence for me is a feeling of gloom
It is something sad about me
When I think of silence I think of black
My mind is clear my jaw snaps
I can’t image life without music
Life without a beat or two
Silence to me is like up without down
And black with out white
That is why silence is not for me
by Daniel M.
