INNOCENT POISON

MADONNA OF KURPIE REGION

Along a sloping level rolled
My youthful life
I was too poor for that
To take up drink

So my habit became
Travels over Poland aimlessly
And geometric pastel
Pictures on the wall

But the most took my heart
This what I saw in Przasnysz
In the middle of main route
On the pane of window rainbow reflection

This picture kept in mind
Landed to Ostrołęka
The teachers looked
Furtively on this on breaks

In that time on the school play
Classmates treated
I danced on my 4 legs
I was relegated from study

ON HIGHER EDUCATION

A beer in the home village
My dad treated me
Then taught me wrestling
On the return way to home

We drank also on traditional party
I don`t is any angel
When my dad was on The Eucharist Midnight
I drank him all bootleg vodka

I was asleep like killed
When I woke
“You could have died from this”
Dad confessed with a shame

In the student residence hall “Anthill”
In “love” city Opole
Once I got drunk
I was asleep on my vomit

Is “The Little Country” and sugar factory
Near Bodzanów
Classmates treated
There I again was drunk

FOR ŚWIETLIK

Our banner poet
From Piaski Lubelskie
Appeared in my life
In Cracow in a campus

Taught me to use plate`s
For spiritualist play
He suggested me
Don`t play in a poem

He admired one Buddhist`s
Also the Bishop`s Tokarczuk
He was mock the martial law
Was love in Kaszuby

Took out me to Stasia
Was a baked beans
This tasty dish above all
Showed me Cracovian cinemas

Now he is Linda`s mate
And Polish top singer
He plays supposedly on and on
The concerts on unstable legs

FOR MUNK

I take a pride very immensely
In a short meeting
In academician in Warsaw
Near the Forum Hotel

Knows what is mean “be like jack”
Old mass of students
In the Munk`s room I asleep
He just went back from concert

I took Joyce`s off his bookshelf
Read almost to the morning
When I opened my eyes
I saw his fringe like hay

Today Muniek hasn`t got a fringe
Supposedly even converted
Got mail from me
That remembered me wrote back

Someone shook The Pope hand
Someone knows The President`s Duda
I met Munk`s in my youth
And I take a pride in that to this day

CRUSADE

The Primate Stefan Wyszyński
Advised through abstinence
To influence on the sobriety nation
Shall we rise from a mud

“The Crusade of New Man”
Just so could have called this movement
But didn`t find a support
Know of this only a few

To a prison landed up “for sobriety”
Famous Franciszek Blachnicki
The Communists kept track of him nonstop
Also then he escaped to Germany

Sopoćko taught sobriety
For that he was in trouble with Communists
I don`t touch a glass
From thirty years odd

Many dislike me for this
But some look up to me
“On what a strange planet
The such Father was born for us?”

INHERITANCE

In Roma the Cesareans knew
How to drink to eat to throw up
The expensive lead cups
Poisoned unluckily their heads

Ate up Kaligula your child
He forced to sink your sister
Tyberiusz had a bath with boys
Neron fanned a fire

History of autodestruction
Leads to eugenics
Russians put dog`s heart
To people – How says Bułhakow

Germans forced women
So that the most shall conceive
Children to men from selection
Poland meanwhile lazes

We are the lazy country
So that to pass life down to children
Our estates, the churches
Will take away then Arabs` children

MEASURE

I don`t know how many children
Had black General Wojciech
I resent to his successors
That had one or two…

On this background degraded
Electrician from Shipyard of Gdańsk
From all pleiad of chiefs
It`s wonder, he looks the best

Danuta behaved very well
Because in Brussels
Looked for stubbornly
The Tabernacle in the Cathedral

Misleading are sometimes appearances
But I have my measure
If man don`t want to have children
Surely has a little heart…

DRUNKEN ARMY

Dennis or Bacchus
The gods of wine or dance
The Russian President Jelcyn
All similar them …

The world rolls for donkey`s years
In this whirl of drunk muddle
People don`t want to move
Being sober in this dirty world…

Shall someone prophet
Will risk a claim
That Jesus or Virgin Mary
Lay in Canaan as drunk?

Or that The Saint Joseph
Of joy that son born
Had a drink with the shepherds
Drunken walked over town?

Our The God is not Dennis
Is not hideous Bacchus
Just drunken soldiers
Sneering at The Messiah killed Him

SAINT DRUNKARD

TALBOT –THAT HIS NAME
YOUNG IRISH COALMINER
WHO DRANK FROM YUONG YEARS
AFTER HEAVY WORK IN MINE

He had mother very patient
In the Saint Monica style
Just she prayed him
That he known as Saint

When he converted
Always went with the Rosary
To work, before and after work
Attended repeatedly also on the Eucharist

Supposedly he even whipped your
Because he did penance sincerely
Actually very need for us
Those saints in our country

This is our Westerplatte
30 years ago The Pope
John Paul Great asked
Shall it sink to someone?

STABLE

The Lord Jesus born in stable
Konstanty built Cathedral
Whereas at Lepanto
One Turkish Chief

Promised that will change over
Saint Peter Basilica to stable
Him didn`t manage
Did this revolution

Many thousand churches in France
In Russia hundreds of thousand
Have changed over to stables
Or to toilets

When Napoleon was in Poland
Not much better acquitted
Lured Polish woman
Divorces brought in offices

Horses of Bonaparte
In churches slept comfortably
Who promised the freedom our
For hundred years odd took it away

EASE OFF BELT

Norwid wanted to get in the Resurrection monastery
I heard about this in Chicago
Was serious obstacle
Cyprian had weakness for wine

This addiction destroys Poles
From Sas`s King days
Coffee on bench let put
Partitions that is “Punishment of God”

Taught us the Saint Papczyński
He created monastery for that
Eremites from the Mariańska Forest
Longed for Poland`s sober

Was blessed Markiewicz
Walked out Salesians
Because there wanted to give beer
To seminary students

The famous Agnes
And not less famous hierarch
“Sour President of Poland”
Had weakness for cap

INNOCENT POISON

Alcohol this not only
Disaster this generation
Which diamond changed over to ash
On graves “were excluded” cries

Meanwhile “judges murderers”
Were not punished for nothing
Still more high your heads raise
Sneering from remained nation

Dynasty “children of regime”
Grows to us like hydra
Like fox and red months
Television still is plugging

In past pigs sat
In the cinemas on German films
Today Germans poison our the youth
Through colored newspapers

Communists privatize
Estates of perverse agents
The best people were poisoned
The rest were destroyed in Smoleńsk

NAGGING

To grumble it is all the little
It is imperative to equal to gender
One should to be in prison
Perverts in hospitals to cure

Mustn`t to be uninterested
On those rainbow parades
Which still “Buffetwoman”
As willingly arranged in Warsaw

Mustn`t to kill the old
Or children are ill of cancer
Mustn`t to sterilize
People mentally ill

That all is weapon from arsenal
Fascists` and Bolsheviks`
The world condemned those regimes
But lives according to their rules

Russian satraps
To lunatic asylums
Exiled still opposition
Today have Christians as twits

DEMOGRAPHY

Take pride murderers
In their abortions
That belly is their property
Just so “Mistresses Wednesdays” shouted…

“Let Sir Priest don`t interfere
Because it is not his matter
We know ourselves the best
Or life to destroy or to give”

The Catholics are in silence loudly
“Muzzle over a month” at command
Were incapacitated
We lost half Poland

In the little country Papua
Population doubly grew
Over barely years 40
In our country in this time lifelessness…

Quite little Philippines
Then had as Poland
Today have 100 million
Somebody castrated Poland???

FOR MARY RADIO

I don`t know does Father Tadeusz
Sometimes read my letters?
I persistently send
The reports from far missions

They vituperate against Rydzyk
But listen covertly
However it is great merit
That he continues at this persistently

Radek cabled for him
To The “Old” Pope
In this “gingerbread” city
Director strongly sits

This is, yes, some coup
I call this like “Copernicus” achievement
The nation defended Rydzyk
From many devious traps

Do was not to agree
Ideas The Father has radical
Though he deserves for esteem
For his persistence…
