We+Are+More

The poem ‘We Are More’, describes what it means to be Canadian. The use of Metaphors in the poem creates analogies in the minds of listeners; 'We are young, we are cultures strung together then woven into a tapestry/And the design is what makes us more than the sum totals of our history’. When hearing this one might think, Canada is a relatively new country, rich with culture and diversity. When listening to the poem as opposed to reading it, one can hear the emotion and power in Shane Koyczan’s voice as he read. Canada truly is ’The true north strong and free.’
