Hi Milica I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I was speaking (English) with my son, when we started talking about things and we talked about the colonial eras, conversions, effects of an international mono-culture, etc - and I just had to put things down as a poem not in angry manner but in a humorous manner... I'm glad you like the poem....
