So below is the first one I wrote. Enjoy! :)
I have never been a patriotic person, unless you count
sport. Not football, of course. Everyone knows we’re bad at it. We were good
back in the 80s, weren’t we? I’m almost sure it was the 80s, but never mind.
The thing is that I always wanted to leave, somewhere better, somewhere with
better opportunities, better start in the future. Patriotic speeches or even my
national anthem made me laugh... How could we have destroyed the ‘thing’ our
grandparents and great-grandparents loved the most? How could we have become so
dependent on others when our ancestors fought so hard for freedom?! I just
can’t understand why did my country, that suffered so much for centuries,
sacrificed so many people, fell down, just to get up even more powerful, let
the snakes in… WHY haven’t we noticed IT earlier?! WHY haven’t we reacted
earlier?! We should have done something a long time ago, instead we were just
waiting for things to get worse and worse… Our ancestors are definitely turning
over in their graves. We’re nothing like them. We’re not brave enough, strong
enough and fearless enough. They risked their lives for their fatherland, to
make our generations’ lives much better, much easier. And look what we’ve done
with it? We let the snakes in. They’ve almost destroyed us. Now we’re trying to
get on our feet again. We’re trying to fight, to get back our lost pride, to
get rid of the remains of communism that is trying to rise again. Hopefully we
will be smarter and stronger this time. It’s not Russia or North Korea, it’s
Poland for God’s sake!!!
