Poetry

Byron Yee's "Paper Son"

Leaving behind my writing brush and removing my sword, I came to America.

Who was to know two streams of tears would flow upon arriving here?

If there comes a day when I will have attained my ambition and become successful,

I will certainly behead the barbarians and spare not a single blade of grass.

"Paper Son" by Byron Yee shows the Avenger archetype because he is seeking revenge on something. "I will certainly behead the barbarians and spare not a single blade of grass. "
