karate kid
A poem by Jane Yolen, about the Japanese Kung Fu is not about fighting or bullying. It's about strong empowerment.
Original poem:
I am wind
I am wall
I am wave
I rise, I fall
I am crane
In lofty flight
Training that
I need not fight
I am tiger
I am tree
I am flower
I am knee
I am elbow
I am hands
Taught to do
The heart's commands
Not to bully
Not to fight
Dragon left
And leopard right
Wind and wave
Tree and flower
Chop
Kick
Peace
Power
