Will you do me a favor? Get up there and speak the words that he does and make people feel like he does. It's people like you that make me nervous for this human race. This man has said the most beautiful things that I have ever heard, and it's sad that you don't see that. Why can't people give people a break? We all want the same thing. Just to get by.
God that was beautiful. I've never really thought I'd like poetry but his work is amazing and the way he presents just makes it that much better. I love it.
Don't worry, not everyone takes time to feel the genuine sentiment that poetry sews into our skin - for many people, especially young people, that kind of emotion can be scary. So be brave, and keep loving poetry
His part in "to this day" about the young boy summed m life in a nutshell, and how ironic that i also speak to people in regards to addiction, mental health, bullying , depression, all through lived experience. This Man is brilliant !
Oh gosh, Shane has helped me get through so much of my past that I still carry with me. "To This Day" is such a perfect titles for that video about bullying...still....to this day....
shane ur a deep person i love watching ur videos and i see that u care about every little word u say.. keep up the great work and gl on ur other videos :)
Go watch his video called To This Day. You need to understand what someone has gone through before you talk shit on them. He's a great person. Don't judge him by his appearance.
please just look what amazing things this man has done for countless people sure he isn't fit but he's obviously one thousand times better than anyone like you
Think about this; if you don't like his words, why listen? If you think he's ugly close you're eyes. Don't blow up a page with comments that will get you no where. Don't watch it and leave. Truely that simple
I've never heard this called 'Spoken Word Poetry' but I guess it could be. I've always heard it referred to as 'Performance Poetry' but I'm thinking both could be correct.
... Who are you? I've never seen you in my life, or talked to you, but supposedly you know me and my actions? Hmm I have some haters it seems! Yay I'm popular!
Couple problems with your statement; however, I commend you for at least acknowledging that this man is obese and has an enormous/bulbous/ most gross chin I've ever seen. Now to address your statements... first off why would I ever care about "landing a TED talk"? Second you say he's obviously loaded - well that may be true, but at the same time he is known to stress that money doesn't buy happiness. The part where you're really wrong is when you say he gets women. Only women he gets are paid.
i love the way that Shane writes. I am so jealous, if my words could string themselves together like this I wouldn't stop writing at the computer.
he surprises me in every speech

Beautiful. I can't believe this is poetry it's so much stronger than anything I've ever heard or read ! Beautiful .
A standing ovation is in order.
Shane is a genius.
Your poems are as genuine as you are. They beat so delicately with my heart's throb.
No matter what this guy may look like, this man is AMAZING!
Shane . . . . . all I want is too be able to help people like you. You are amazing.
I am in love with his voice
Why doesn't this have a million views by now.!!
every time I have to cry when I hear this man...
Im totally speechless
I love Shane so much, if only i could meet him, I would cry & tell him how much he means to me 3 I would hug him, his words speak to my soul.
A magnificent poet, a real canadian cultural treasure.
His words are so raw he always bring me to tears I love how he forces me to feel
God that was beautiful. I've never really thought I'd like poetry but his work is amazing and the way he presents just makes it that much better. I love it.
God bless this wonderful man.

He is a genius
If you guys love spoken word like i do look up Ezekiel P4cm. He is awesome!

Incredible as usual :)
Because not everyone is an artist, because not everyone loves poetry the way we do.

Brilliant.
Wonderful
Seriously? THREE COMMENTS?! Wow, what a world...
please just look what amazing things this man has done for countless people
sure he isn't fit but he's obviously one thousand times better than anyone like you
Is it weird I read this comment in Shane's voice?
Think about this; if you don't like his words, why listen? If you think he's ugly close you're eyes. Don't blow up a page with comments that will get you no where. Don't watch it and leave. Truely that simple
Yep..
Wait, there's literally a one thousand pound elephant in the room? How the fuck did I miss that?
😢😭😖😞
But what happens when there's no fight left?..........when a heart is bereft of the will it takes to continue beating?.......
I've never heard this called 'Spoken Word Poetry' but I guess it could be. I've always heard it referred to as 'Performance Poetry' but I'm thinking both could be correct.
R10GreyhoundsRule It is spoken word.
1:57 woo
What should it really matter to you how much anyone else weighs?
Keep it Bounhas!
i thought my youtube was lagging
i dont think his image really matters at all. If you dont like his image, close your eyes and listen.
Who disliked this :O
such poignant word spoken in such melodic way..
... Who are you? I've never seen you in my life, or talked to you, but supposedly you know me and my actions? Hmm I have some haters it seems! Yay I'm popular!
I can't take you seriously. You're just a troll. A funny troll though. That wasn't a compliment.
Rap IS faster poetry...
Some rap. Like common. But not lil' Wayne.
rap is rhythm and poetry ???????? it doesnt have to be fast lmfao?
Not at all. :P
4/10 Fairly obvious troll.
Let me guess, you also weigh 450 pounds?
