The poem We Are More, Shane Koyczan is expressing that canadians are more than just what people say we are. He is saying that we aren't just the stereotypes that the world thinks we are, but that we are more than that, more than people think or say we are. We are who we are and no matter what the world says about us, we will keep on being who we are, because we are more. More than what people think, more than what people say. We are canadian, and we are proud of it. When people read the poem We are More, they think its cheesy and like he's just joking around with stereotypes, but when you hear him re the poem you go, yo know what all of those things people say about us they may be true but im proud of hem because we are more than that. In the text he says, from A to Zed, and yes we do say Zed . anybody reading that would think whatever and move on, while he is reading it though you say, yeah we do say Zed, thats pretty cool, its who we are. in the end this whole poem come down to three words, the title, We Are More.

There are some good ideas here. Be sure to proof read carefully.
