To think it's been 40 years since the war with the Jaruzel crows, as time flies into space. Unbelievably...And yet I hear the scream of a neighbour who is knocking on the door and crying “War, war...” At first I thought Reagan had yet launched rockets on the evil empire. . But no, it was the Polish people's army that launched tanks against us! And then the false-sounding voice of the general on the radio, on the same radio we listened to the abroad stations... With amazement we had to perceive to the banal, the words of horror and repulsive, and yet he had the nerve to scrape it with the music of the Shopen! It's like he's been hit by Frederick for all this! So they did, any rumors were circulating, but unfortunately I didn't take them besides seriously... and it was a mistake due to the fact that now I'm trapped, with a passport valid to France, Italy and Spain! Wasted visas already in the passport. I put off my journey to spend Christmas in Krakow in household groups. . Before I go into a planet far away... And it lost me, then for 4 years they refused me a passport. And just as martial law worked on me like anesthesia on sentiments and mature to emigrate. A beautiful view from my windows to the monastery on the stone has lost its magical influence, I have decided to leave my cage. In fact, I would be inclined to do so sooner, but just the old medieval wall, remembering the times of the monastery foundation, held me firmly in this heart of thousand-year-old Poland. However, tanks on the streets have made me realize that nothing will change here until we are under the business of the Russians, those "Sovietische Banditen" as I called them in spite of the language of another totalitarianism. Well, that I lived in the heart of the thousand-year-old Poland, erstwhile the Peerelians ruled, and we truly lived on the ruins of the thousand-year-old Poland, moved double to the left in addition... due to the fact that in the atlases to the west (at the same time we were cut off with the Prapolski Lviv ) and we were put to crap with red fascism! And it was in March 1968 that I sent anonymous letters to the Provincial Committee in Krakow comparing the PZPR government to red fascism... Despite the ripple of "Solidarity" and the clear thaw during the 1980/81 period, Jaruzel crows (actually hyenas!) restored the power of dark troglodytes and in this situation I decided to search light over Mare Nostrum. I besides felt personally affected by dictatorship, based on moronic ideology, and that all journey abroad required a one-off pass, which authorities with arrogance called passports! Freedom was raped here at all turn, but what could be expected of the vassal and slave organization against the Bolsheviks? A group of generals and elder military men behind the assassination of December 13, 1981 undoubtedly appeared in the interests of Moscow. president Andrzej Duda may be right to call the general a coward, but Jaruzelski was first of all a tried russian agent, who frequently proved his loyalty to Moscow and Polish "Soviets" like during the December 1970 massacre. Only contempt can be shown to cowards, but a traitor deserves eternal condemnation. The political traitors Dante placed in the ninth ellipse of Hell (Canto 32), most likely there too, Jaruzelski, a specialist in December slaughter. In the state of war, he is besides liable for, for example, the pacification of the "Uncle" mine, during which the zombies shot 9 miners and injured respective dozen, though it was reported that General Kiszczak ordered the usage of the weapon. At first, after the ZOMO raid in the mine, there were talk of 7 victims, which was reflected in this poem that I wrote shortly after this crime:
***
I don't have a country anymore.
It was removed by decree,
tanks were driven,
The gas was stunned
and 7 bullets.
Atlas of the World
I'm looking for a desert island
far distant from the borders
bayonet,
far from the demented priests
ideology.
In May 1985 I yet managed to get a pass (i.e. a passport) to go to Italy, they could no longer refuse the red jackals due to the fact that in Rome I was awarded the global Premio Circe Sabaudia award. And so I ran off to the free world, where everyone had passports at home. At the Roman airport, I was immediately left with tummy pains that tormented me in the state of war. And looking for this "uninhabited island" – after many peregrinations - especially in Spain, I reached Australia. It's a very large island, and even a continent. Though not deserted, in the age of constant pandemic coronavirus may 1 day become no one's land? Thy kingdom come...
Meanwhile, in the Vistula basin any bulldozers proceed to be pecked by eagles, it is the peers, tuskogads and bargainers who have been harassing Poles surviving here for over a 1000 years...And sometimes those who defy attacks of enemies, but always hospitable to the tribes persecuted and even granting them privileges. We have survived and over a 100 years of partition, through religion and culture. Literary Nobel Sienkiewicz received erstwhile Poland was not yet on the maps of Europe. And present the anti-Poles are removing his books from school readings, precisely due to the fact that they want us to be nationalized! This cannot be allowed, on the contrary, we must dig deeper into our past and culture, in order to regain a kind of bond with ancestors, which occurred after 1945, erstwhile the communists trampled on traditions of I and II of the Republic. In 1939 the invasion of Germany and Russia struck a terrible blow to Poland for a 1000 years, and then our borders were moved, which is simply a scandalous matter, due to the fact that we were an crucial part of the winning Allies. So let the peers not disturb us present to remove negative phenomena from the years of the Polish People's Republic and to return to the heritage of the Second Polish Republic! The 1 Germany and the Soviets demolished erstwhile they started planet War II.
