Bit of reality

I don't really care what others think bout this one. Here's the undeniable truth.

Since a hundred years,
Blood mixed with tears...
My nationality,
My homeland,
The world tried to tear it apart,
Millions, live like minions,
Ironic...
We're hated,
Mistreated,
In our own home!
Our own land.
But the world says it's Romania,
I say it's still Transylvania, and it's part of my homeland,
Just like before 1920.
They say it's Serbia,
I say it's a piece of Hungary,
Given to wild animals.
They say it's Slovakia,
I say it's a part of my homeland,
In the hands of our foes.
They say it's Ukraine,
But it's not.
They say there's a list,
Of the countries we're neighbors with.
I say, todays Hungary is neighboring the original Hungary,
Three seas were the borders.

They claim we went there in 1956, running from the Soviets,
But they don't know,
No Hungarian abandoned his homeland, not in the times when Europe was bleeding from the Ottoman armies, not in the 1848 revolution, not in the world wars, never in history. We stood, and fought. Everyone else ditched us, we were on our own.
Our families live there since more than a millennia, we defended Europe from the oppression of the Ottoman, Europe let us down, and so the enemy gained strength, and remained two centuries here.

They beat my brothers and sisters,
Because they are Hungarian,
They hate us, for we are home,
And not afraid of saying the truth,
Not afraid of speaking our own language,
Not afraid of knowing our history,
Not afraid of their primitive hatred,
Not afraid of the oppression of the others.

Although the map says we're apart,
Our blood is the same,
Our language is the same,
Our hearts beat in the same hopes,
Under a Hungarian sky,
On the land of our ancestors.
We stand defiant,
Together, as one.

The world says "move on, forgive and move on."
No!
I had enough,
We all had enough,
No Hungarian will, or can forgiver, or forget 1920.
Never. I will not forgive, I will never forget.
We will never forgive, we will never forget.
The injustice cannot be forgiven,
Cannot be forgotten.

I do not hate other nations,
I'm just proud of my own,
And hate all, who hate me, or my homeland, or my nation.
There is no reason for them to hate us, it's not their home that was divided, not their nation under attack of hatred.

Dear reader, no matter how firmly you believe in knowing the weight of my words, you do not. You will never understand, unless your home goes through injustice like mine did in 1920, and until your nation lives the oppression, like mine did, and breaks free like mine did.
Therefore, don't judge my love for my homeland, and my brothers and sisters, beyond the borders.

The homeland above all!

Like i said, it's the truth. no one can say otherwise.

This is an awesome write... not only was it detailed but it was loaded with historical facts that I was unaware of. I love the message, you aren't full of hatred for the other countries... you are simply proud of your homeland and who you are. Very honest and passionate write. Loved it!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

thank you :)

[Tomoe Tellez]

I like how you used actual historical facts to back up your beliefs. And this part is my favorite:
"I do not hate other nations,
I'm just proud of my own,
And hate all, who hate me, or my homeland, or my nation.
There is no reason for them to hate us, it's not their home that was divided, not their nation under attack of hatred"
This something many people outside of he place you've been in cannot understand and they will judge without even thinking. Great poem my friend!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

and many did already. thank you :)

Rozsda ette penge, falra kiszegezve,
Dicső múltunk hol vagy, hol vagy eltemetve?
Kiásunk a sirból kopott büszkeségünk,
Gyalázott zászlaink, megcsonkitott népünk!
Vérző tiz körmünkkel kaparjuk a földet,
Ezen nehéz órán Istenünk segits meg!
Segits meg Istenünk fogytán már erejünk,
Kezedben van sorsunk, mutass jelet nekünk!
Most hóförgeteg támad szép magyar Kárpátnak,
S vad szél járja által a végtelen pusztákat.
Érzem arcomon már jeges fuvallatát,
Tomboló erejét, lángoló haragját.
Kelettől Nyugatig perzsel végig tüze,
Hogy azt, mi rossz e népnek hamuvá eméssze!
Virágba boruljon ez a büszke ország,
És együtt mondjuk újra: ÉLJEN A SZABADSÁG!
Esztendő se múljon dolgozzon a kovács,
Kard kell ide újra, acélos csillogás!
Pengéjét rozsdával ne etesse senki,
Jaj, be keserű, jaj, be szép most Magyarnak lenni!

Danny this is powerful! "no matter how firmly you believe in knowing the weight of my words, you do not. You will never understand, unless your home goes through injustice like mine did in 1920..you are right Danny. Such an inspirational write for me. Makes me reflect on my own ancestry. Thanks for sharing.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you very much! i thought, everybody needs to remember where they're from. this is my first little effort to do so.

[Rose Jaeger Kaneki]

this is amazing, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you very much!

[Rose Jaeger Kaneki]

welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sally Hope]

This is chilling. Such a powerful, haunting way to take a firm and proud stand against injustice. You're absolutely right: "No matter how firmly you believe in knowing the weight of my words, you do not." Only the one going through it, will ever really understand. Hail Homeland! A beautiful read. Thanks for sharing, Danny.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Should i say your welcome, or thank you? i guess both. thanks and you're welcome.

[Sally Hope]

Such pleasant manners, Danny. Good to see "lol" is not the only word you've mastered in your sixteen years of existence.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i know much more, than what i use... sometimes, im just too lazy to write properly, but most of the times, I'm just careless. hahaha.

[Sally Hope]

"I know much more than what I use"... There's modesty, right there, buddy. And, yeah, sometimes I'm just too lazy to type too, but that doesn't mean I go about shooting random acronyms like "lol" and "idc" and - the most recent, though not an acronym - "hahahaha".

[Dani The Unreviewed]

ok... so teach me sensei. :D

[Sally Hope]

Ah. At last. The mortal finally decides to bow to the homo novus prodigy. Sit, my pupil, sit. Here, you shalt learn the knowledge of the wise and old (even though, I'm young and cool; just sayin').

[Dani The Unreviewed]

tha homo....what?! speak English or Hungarian so i can understand.

[Sally Hope]

Homo Novus ... Heard of the series "The Big Bang Theory"? Well, apparently, homo novus is the next stage of evolution in humans, a.k.a, homo sapiens. Got it?

[Dani The Unreviewed]

homo....novus...sapiens...bang...theory... note taken. thanks :D

[Sally Hope]

Always welcome.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

so...you claim you're a... *searching notepad...* a... a.... god my handwriting is ugly..
a...right! a homonovusbangsapienstheory.... no...no...wait... it's homobagovustheorysapiens..or whatever? i guess. and you expect me to give out an id saying you're this homo...whatever...sapiens...theory bag...?

[Dani The Unreviewed]

never mind me...im just goofing around.

Here. A song to go with the piece.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i love that song!

[A writer]

I know. Me too.

Dear Danny,
Honestly, I didn't know the history of Hungary and to get the background of your writing I googled it. Of what little I understood about the subject, its a grave injustice that snatched your motherland from its origin. Tragic, for it landed you nowhere.
Is my little endeavor in understanding your history is in right direction, at the very least?

And your poem is so direct! Voiced with integrity and candour like a proclamation of independence! Brave and strong write.
Loved it!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Thank you :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]

Welcome :)

[Joel Armstrong]

I'm very impressed with this one. It's brought out the inner patriot in you . A child of Hungary you are and a proud one .A world filled with war...so many mistakes in the past and these mistakes still haunt us. I have no right to judge and hence I won't. But hate shall always beget hate.if we are to move forward then do so with love. When I this I don't mean that you should not fight. Fight for your country, show to the world its greatness. Make her proud. But by doing so add more love into it. For if you are anybody today then it is thanks to your motherland. Always be proud of that. I know that many have suffered in the , killed because of their nationality. My country went through a lot as well. Mine was raped,pillaged and enslaved for 200 years...
But that is in the past. We have moved forward from that time, grown anew. The same pride of my nationality flows through my veins.
An inspiring write my friend.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i know my friend. but i will never forgive that, and never forget it. one must be proud of his homeland.

[Joel Armstrong]

Indeed.one always must.you don't always have to forgive nor do you have to forget it.some scars are permanent I suppose.same situation here if not worse.the treaty of trianon was indeed unfortunate and a great injustice was done.but in those times I wouldn't be surprised because justice is never something one got that easily.dark times they were..

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Unfortunate is no word. i mean really? what gives em a right to take what was ours for more than a thousand years?

[Joel Armstrong]

They have no right. But yet they did didnt ? Unfair things are committed against the victim.that has always been the case with every country that had to face colonial rule or face the consequences of war.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i know. still, i say they should all stand up for their rights. they're right if they want their territory back! i know we're not gonna get any of it back...at least not any time soon.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

but i also know, that even if im the only one left in the world, who stands for my home, i will not back off. the truth cannot be swept under the carpet.

[Joel Armstrong]

Somethings can't be changed.my country lost a great many things when we were under British rule.Britain ows us billions in reparations. Still they say it's is in the past.and we have not asked for it either.because we don't need it.not money alone ,our country was partioned ,brothers turned against each ...
We still suffer from the crimes that they inflicted upon our nation.but we have have moved forward because forward is the only way for us to go. Wat hàppend in the past remains in the past.whatever we do now is never going to change that.that is the ugly truth.
We cannot undo the past.but we can however learn from those mistakes and hope for a better future or work together for one.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

I know. im just being stubborn.

[Joel Armstrong]

It's okay to be stubborn at times.I just want you to realize that if there's anything we seen from history its dat there is just simply more pain that will be created when cling onto something that hàppend in the past..I just don't want to see any more children suffer for wat their parents are doing.in every war a child loses his innocence. Wat kind of generation will we bring up in such a case.our decisions will affect our children too.idñt want to see them suffer.

[Dani The Unreviewed]

me neither. i don't want wars. i just want justice, want the truth to be told.
