This poem isn't by Shane Koyczan it is another poem by Suli Breaks. This video was impacting because it showed clips of movies that everyone has watched and they went so well with the words. "What day is the happiest day he said pay day", thinking about it it's true so many people can't wait for payday, in fact most people evolve there life around when they are getting. I like that he says that money is still innocent because it's the person who uses the money that makes money seem evil. This spoken word makes me think deeply about money and how no matter how much an individual doesn't want money they still need it. "But if you love those around you would you not persevere in your means to make their living better." I find this interesting because parents do this all the time, they live outside their means so that they can give their children the life they never had. The violin used in this spoken word in this poem also impact how it makes me feel. It opens my eyes to how greedy the world is today.
Words are powerful when written down, but even more so when they are spoken. Shane Koyczan, a native Canadian, is a spoken word poet. I will share with you his poems and what I take from them. Spoken word has been around for many centuries and usually focuses on the words themselves and the way they sound, the gestures that a person uses with the words, and facial expressions. It brings feelings back to words in a society where technology has muted them.
