I like the intro immediately, "This is my voice, there are many like it, but this one is mine," I find it relate-able because everyone has the ability to speak up, but it's what you decide to stand up for versus what you decide to sit down for. I love what he said politic means because it's what I believe it is, especially when it comes with making empty promises to the citizens that vote for them. The visual he creates with his words leaves me feeling depressed inside and yearning to want to help everyone that he was describing. The most powerful lines is when he brought in Helen Keller and Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Right movement activist. The ending line "you always have a voice" reminded me to always speak up and never stay silent when there is something I don't agree with.
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.
