THE ENTHRONEMENT

 

BLIP

 

The press rises of Martin Luther

To heaven for his services

Which he had for the Reformation

The 500th anniversary

 

Let`s also say about blips

The list is quite long, unfortunately

Broke vow of celibacy

He liked to feast – drink

 

A new religion, denomination

Father Luther didn`t plan

Beautifully translated the Bible

But for shortcuts 3 years

 

Wrote many hymns

Talent can`t be denied

But the Sacraments he threw out

The priesthood, the Eucharist …

 

The Holy Mass is for Luther a reminder

There is no “real presence”

So in the Lutheran churches

Uncomfortable a Catholic feels

 

SOWER

 

Mr. Russel – Jew from America

Sold grain in Europe

He built on the famous Brooklyn

The Watch Tower”

 

He had enough money to print

The Bible as his hobby:

Instead of Sabbat, Adonai

Everywhere is to be – JEHOVA

 

He also trained the “Elders”

They have seized their disciples

They hypnotize the whole world

Like a mantra they hum their mistakes

 

They don`t have the Eucharist

There is neither the Trinity nor the Cross

The greatest enemy of these people

Are: the Pope and the Vatican

 

Rome they call Babylon

They paint a swastica on Mitra

They don`t like schools, education

Hospitals and especially transfusions …

 

SABBATH PROMISES

 

The Adventists still worship the Shabbat

As if there was no the Resurrection

Outrageous this sclerosis

Or unconscious ignorance

 

Mr. William Miller has found a way

To quickly fill his pocket

Those who will pay the Tithe

Promised an “EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE”

 

Jesus was to come very soon

In 1843

Five times William the date changed

From his fellow believers still was running away

 

United States are great, so itinerant

Preachers are popular

When he lost the congregation in one State

He looked for gullible in a another State

 

He lived 16 years in this way

Jesus didn`t come though they waited

Similar to these promises

Did to us Helena White

 

WAR WITH LIPSTICKS

 

I saw post-Soviet Baptists

They suffered from communism

Women sit in prayer

Like the Orthodox in big scares

 

Some are struggling with lipsticks

Pants for women is it taboo

Summer shirts are forbidden

You have to cover everything completely

 

With panic these people are afraid

Of everyone, including the Catholics

They usually have three sermons

And preachers have several

 

Their schools or seminaries

Don`t last long, because it is enough

That the young pastor as many as possible

Quotes from the Bible to memorize

 

Songbooks are as thick as the Bible

Hymns for Christmas

Paschal songs, of Harvest

They also know “Everything for You”

 

THE LAST DAYS

 

Mormon had banks and takes

He didn`t like paying, so ran

From one State to another

Until to the state Iowa finally arrived

 

Iowa is full of Mormons

Every now and then there are scandals there

Numerous marriages among minors

Polygamy, harassment

 

In the US many “is wounded”

You can marry even a goat

One still not go out:

Defend conceived from abortion

 

Meanwhile Mormon created a book

On behalf of the Indian “Siuks”

The cult of ancestors and the fear of ghost

He used in 100%

 

Named your sect Pastor Mormon

Latter –Day Christians”

And really feels there

Like has already come the end of the world

 

VOCATION

 

Catherine is for me a model

Of persistence and intelligence

In the merchant`s family in Siena

Were over 20 children

 

Even so Catherine`s parents

Didn`t want to give to God

This girl – because she too beautiful

Seemed for the monastery …

 

To remove this argument

Catherine bathed in boiling water

On her wounds she poured pepper and salt

And finally she went to the convent

 

There she took up an important matter

Wrote letters to the Popes

Two lived in the Vatican

In France lived the third Pope …

 

Although women are accused

Of “failing” in politics

Catherine effectively solved

The biggest “Vatican Crisis”

 

OUTLOOK

 

I have been since my childhood formed

From the “misfires” of Second War

The rest was made by the Martial Law

The fatal convulsions of the post – Communism

 

My parents were also lost

Fortunately, there were “good priests”

Sometimes pretty cool teachers at school

Books, monuments and films …

 

However, the most helped the Pope

He straightened our spine

He raised Catholics from their knees

He restored dignity and piety

 

I don`t have pro – Moscow tendencies

I`m also skeptical about the West

The Pope showed THE THIRD WAY

This is the mission for the Poles

 

Raise from the fall many countries

Who were kneeing on their knees

Who PRAYED TO LENIN

Now they “pray to the dollar”

 

TRADITION

 

A beautiful rosary and lace”

The “charismatic” spoke to the brothers

But this “is not our tradition”

Said “glamorous” priest from “renewal”

 

I think that new fascinations

Prayer in “magical languages”

A rest in spirit, applause

THIS IS EXALTATION, NOT TRADITION

 

Maybe it`s a “nice experiment”

For very emotional people

There are also conservatives

Who it tires – even hurts

 

Let`s not ridicule lace

Let us carry a rosary with us

This is a Catholic tradition

Better than Luther and Calvin …

 

Faustyna is remembering, Gentlemen

Fatima – EVERYDAY ROSARY

These great Messages above the word

The Lord God “allowed to happen” and the Pope

 

FORTRESS

 

Edyta`s mother was a widow

Her husband left seven children

Left also a carpentry workshop

On the head of a weak woman

 

The widow rolled your sleeves

The workshop has developed, hasn`t fallen

So they lived in Wroclaw

Edyta graduated there

 

Will she took over after your mother

She soon became a lecturer

Being at friends on vacation

She soon saw the book “FORTRESS”

 

The Philosopher can`t break away

From this reading

So she dashes to the parish priest

To ask suddenly to be christened

 

Then was a convent and a camp

Death among loved ones

After Saint Jadwiga she is the greatest

Saint from Silesia from HOLOCAUST

 

HAUGHTY HEART

 

YOU CAN`T KILL ME TODAY”

Franciszek Gajowniczek was crying

I have a beautiful wife, I`m young

I left small children

 

This cry has heard God in Heaven

God inspired the valiant Father Kolbe

To come forward in front of the row

Look at the face of the “haughty German”

 

The fascist`s heart suddenly softened

He gave life to Franciszek

He took life from several other prisoners

Including Maksymilian Kolbe

 

This case is known, I will just add

That in “the death cell” no one has heard

Tears or curses or swear-words

There lasted confession and prayer

 

Franciszek returned to family

To a beautiful wife, small children

And about this “haughty heart” of the German

He talked story and how it softened

 

ENTHRONEMENT

 

On “the Polish throne” died a witch

Though Russia calls her “great”

Catherine destroyed our country

Her throne placed in the toilet

 

King Staś” was the witch`s favorite

Without strength, will, eccentric

Today in the European Union

We had a collection of such “favorites”

 

They bargain Poland seriously

They are flirting “right and left”

With Moscow, Brussels and Washington

Only a few “In Poland believe”

 

John Paul the Great has advised us

To look for some “Third Way”

Communism was in disgrace

We are fed by low liberalism

 

The throne of Poland and the crown

King Jan Kazimierz gave to the Madonna

President Duda and the Bishops

Gave the crown to Jesus

 

POLISH LABYRINTH

 

King Bolesław was “very Generous”

But he killed Stanisław

He did penance somewhere in Osjak

It`s worth knowing because it`s true

 

Kościuszko, unfortunately, was a freemason

It`s worth recalling solemnly

He exterminated the Bishops without mercy

Had a pretext for it – Targowica

 

Nobody will take away much merit

The crown from head will not fall

The Mound from Kraków will not leave

However, let`s tell people the truth

 

Piłsudski moved to Calvinists

Had a reason for it – he divorced

The bell tower will not break

But let`s say the sad truth

 

In our history were many

Who are waiting for the ?

Pleiad “traitors like Bolek”

Confidential agents of communist Poland

 

FIRST LADIES

 

Wanda didn`t want to marry the German

Jadwiga from Silesia was German

Our Mieszko was a polygamist

Dubrawka has replaced all of them …

 

Kazimierz Wielki had a mistress

For her he built a residence

Jagiełło had pious wives

But he still believed in superstitions

 

King Zygmunt spent time in Lithuania

He was in mourning for Barbara

Sobieski loved Marysieńka

Saxons have loved their Dresden

 

Batory sent his wife “to the countryside”

Mniszkówna lived in Moscow

Princess Grudzińska and Walewska

Famous also is Emilia Plater

 

We had many holy women

Were scholars and beautiful

But no one can match the Queen

The One from Jasna Góra and The One “Shines from Heaven”

 

TRIBUTE

 

Pułaski lay somewhere under the bridge

Died young, apparently he was bleeding heavily

He now has a bridge in the great New York

A bridge which folds up and unfolds

 

Kościuszko has a bridge in Brooklyn

We are very proud of this

That our” two Generals”

Gave to the Yankees Independence

 

Surprises us and annoys

That this tribute does not help

Promote Poland in America

Just as Israel is promoted

 

I don`t envy the Jews

I feel compassion and support

I still feel grudge for my homeland

That so she is abused today by the world

 

Supposedly ten million living there

In the queue are still many wait

So that the Yankees would abolish our visas

By memory of Pułaski`s death

 

BEYOND THE OCEAN

 

They liked Modrzejewska in the States

The actor Valentino was famous

Paderewski gave concerts

Frank Sinatra starred in movies

 

Supposedly Al Capone had in his ranks

Thugs from Poland

Gołota bravely fought in the States

Though in Poland got a sentence for something

 

Czesław Miłosz lived in the States

Rostenkowski was active in Chicago

In Philadelphia was Krol – Cardinal

In Hollywood was Mr. Polański

 

Ended his life Marek Hłasko

Komeda wrote music there

Died famous Poświatowska

There are priests from Poland, nuns

 

Lived in Chicago Servant of God

Famous for the whole of America

Who lived 20 years in Russia

For punishment – He is Walter Ciszek

 

FIDES ET RATIO

 

Our Copernicus was a monk

Uncle and Piotr Skarga were a Bible scholars

Włodkowic and Cardinal Hozjusz

Krasicki wrote beautiful poems

 

The famous Jesuit scientist

Hugo Kołłątaj and Staszic

There were many wise priests

But their merit is for nothing

 

Such hypocritical textbooks

The Commune printed us

And is it clear that the priest

Was also Mendel and Newton

 

About the last one I read

That he was a wealthy businessman

He sold Africans to Americans

But he changed

 

He created many church hymns

And the theory of gravity

Each of us makes mistakes in life

God is slowly converting us

 

POLITICAL PSYCHOPATH

 

Czaadajew is a strange name

Known only is narrow circles

Miłosz remembers a few times

I also want to honor him with respect

 

He was a philosopher and a Catholic

And a friend of the Decembrists

It`s very possible that they knew each

Other with our Adam Mickiewicz

 

For his dislike of tsarism

For his criticism of the Orthodox Church

This man got a life imprisonment

With simple diagnosis:”PSYCHOPATH”

 

This is how the opposition for centuries

In Russia was beautifully treated

If you don`t love power in the country

Then you are probably mentally ill

 

OURS AT EXILE

 

The flower of our chiefs and poets

Visited Siberia for punishment

Or like Mickiewicz near Odessa

Or in Kazakhstan like Broniewski

 

The hussars from Żółkiewski were the first

Who their bones were laid under Tobolsk

Belonging to the AK and other were cursed

Laid bones in Kamchatka

 

But the most of the bones lies

In the Smoleńsk forests, Katyń village

In Starobielsk in Ukraine

And near Kharkiv in Piatichatki

 

General Haller the most famous

Doctors and engineers

Polices and many foresters

Priests and professors

 

Blessed Bukowiński

Is buried in Karaganda

Saint Rafał Kalinowski

Is the patron of all Exiles of Siberia

 

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYMEN

 

Copernicus was an Augustian

It means from a Canonical order

They are regular Canons

In the famous Krakow and in Ełk

 

Copernicus`s Uncle Bishop Łukasz

Ruled the diocese in Frombork

The Uncle`s name was Watzenrode

They probably talked in German

 

Szopen`s grandfather lived in Alsace

It`s like France – not really

The German dialect reigns there

Frycek”`s ancestors used this

 

Wincenty Pol became a Pole

Although he was from an Austrian family

Kętrzyński was a German in his childhood

Was also him Gustaw Ehrenberg

 

Tuwim I Leśmian beautiful poems

Altgough they Jews but wrote in Polish

Brandstaetter was a beautiful man

An even more beautiful was Janusz Korczak

 

WERE EXECUTED

 

Father Zych, Niedzielak, Suchowolec

In three different cities worked

Each of them died like a martyr

Standing on the guard of a great matter

 

They had the courage to preach the truth

When others were closed their mouths

Zych was liked on the Coast

Niedzielak was famous in Warsaw

 

Father Suchowolec small in height

Was poisoned in Białystok

Someone then simulated a fire

Someone else wiped off the tracks

 

It was 1989

The time when Kiszczak in “Magdalenka”

Bargained for cash and proceeds

With “powdered opposition”

 

Why then during this session

Polish priests still were destroyed

Who at this time could have disturbed

Father Suchowolec, Zych, Niedzielak???

 

TOO GOOD

 

Mrs. Marianna Popiełuszko

Lived for 95 years

She was thin as a chip – cried

A lot of tears for her son

 

Sometimes came to the village

Trips and journalists

Although she famous, lived in poverty

For the rest of her life in a humble cottage

 

She became a symbol of contempt

What had for her son

Heroes of post – Communism

Who live in abundance

 

Urban who never apologized

Or Michnik “the great beneficiary”

Agreement which Kiszczak created

Over the Father Jerzy`s grave

 

A horde of murderers and mockers

Are prevailing, not was judged

Father Jurek is falling over in the grave

He didn`t win the evil – He was TOO GOOD

 

MRS. GANDHI

 

When Mahatma was once asked

About the origin of the invention

Of the “HINDU WAR WITHOUT VIOLENCE”

Great Britain lost in it

 

Gandhi admitted that his wife

Modest countrywoman taught him

That he would ask for anything

Sooner or later will receive this

 

She didn`t use arguments

Didn`t use force either

Meaningfully and persistently in silence

She got everything from her husband

 

She wasn`t beautiful or smart

Simply she had a strong will

My guess is that faith too played

A part in her life

 

BETTER DAYS

 

In Poland also without a shot

Was a revolution in the city of Gdańsk

All shipyard workers were

IN SOLIDARITY WITH MRS. ANNA

 

She is the secondary

But a real hero

Of what was happening during this time

In my homely and on the coast

 

She could tell the truth in the eyes

Also she knew the truth about Wałęsa

The rest of the country knew

When our Premier Olszewski left

 

He wanted to defend our property

To ban the agents from the trough

But it was the most difficult

In pains of child birth” continues to this day

 

The children of the Solidarity times

Like me, have grown very old

God has given us the grace of patience

To see better times
