The Paper Samurai

I wrote this to an illustration I created of this character. Origami the Paper Samurai, was intended to mimic 'Flat Stanley' and show solidarity among children and parents against bullying. Perhaps if everyone showed support against this bad behavior, by token of wearing this small Samurai, Would-be bullies might reconsider their numbers. I am everywhere you go And there is one thing you should know When you need me, I will be there That's no lie I'll fight for you and me And all that we can be I am more, than just a Paper Samurai Origami, Origami I am all for you and you are all my army When trouble comes to us And Bullies cause a fuss They will see the Samurai within our eye They may push us, they may shove us But they will never rise above us May the last words that they hear, is our "BONSAI" When, we are doing good Helping others, like we should There's no reason in the world, we should cry The paper we will fold, and the story, will be told I'm Origami, Your Paper Samurai Origami, Origami I am all for you and you are all my army by Jerry T Curtis August 6, 2014
