What Nationalism truly is

By speaking Mon alone,
You are not enough to be recognized as a patriot.

By being able to write Mon only,
You are not enough to be acknowledged as a patriot.

Even you maintain your culture
And know its value,
You are not enough to be a nationalist.

In order to keep your nation alive,
Only when you bravely stand and fight
Without giving up;
You are worthy enough to be remarked as a true nationalist.
