Words seemingly beautiful and touching, yet cynical and hypocritical. The words the poet predicted sometimes have the gift of prediction. Good thing we have poets. Thanks to poets the Nation survived and Poland survived. The poets build continuity between successive generations, care for continuity besides in hard times of captivity and occupation. Agata Lalik's poet in Sergeant Matthew Sitk's poem "Degrengolada" predicted propheticly these cynical and hypocritical words:
The state is made of cardboard, the nation does not believe
Even though the invader murders a soldier.
Posthumous medals, this is simply a mockery.
erstwhile your parent loses her boy with your permission.
Let us recall, then, the chronology of events that preceded the death of Sergeant Matthew Siwka, and the shameful events that occurred after his death:
- On March 25, 2024 another effort was made at the Polish-Belarusian border in Dubicze Cerkiowe by a group of armed with sticks and knives of “refugees” in Poland.
- The soldiers guarding the border through means of communication called for help, asked for support
- In the event of a direct threat to their own lives and safety, Poland utilized a weapon, giving up informing shots, no of the attackers were injured or grazed
- They acted by law, The Act on direct coercion and firearms in Article 45 provides: ‘Firearms may be utilized when’ ...(1) ‘there is simply a request to defy a direct, unlawful assassination of:" point (d) ‘inviolability of the national border by a individual who forces the crossing of the national border utilizing a vehicle, firearms or another dangerous object’
- Despite the imminent threat and actions under the law, 3 soldiers were detained by the Military Gendarmerie and 2 of them were charged by the prosecution. "exceeding the rights and vulnerability of migrants" attacking the border. During the detention, they were handcuffed like common bandits
- The case was not informed to the public, according to later statements by Andrzej Duda, the President, who was the highest superior of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, besides knew nothing about the case
- The investigation against 2 detainees was supervised by D.A. Jarosław Sej, who was a referee in the Smolensk disaster investigation, privately the boy of a military prosecutor in a communist peernel, trained by the Russian GRU
- Private Mateusz Sitek served on the same section of the border in the Church of Dubai as soldiers arrested in March
- I'm certain he could hear his colleagues calling for help.
- He most likely knew their destiny erstwhile they tried to defend Poland and their lives
- On May 28, Private Mateusz Sitek was attacked with a knife by 1 of the bandits trying to force his way through the Polish border. The minute he utilized the shield to block the breach in the steel dam, the bandit stabbed him with a knife in the area of his chest. another bandits threw branches and stones toward the injured and assisting Border defender officers.
- Private Mateusz Siwek faced a dramatic choice, defending himself, which could have threatened to handcuffed and arrested by the Military Gendarmerie or hoped the wound would be harmless – he chose the other
- The wound was fatal, Mateusz Siwek died after a fewer days in the Warsaw hospital
- On 9 June, the day of the elections to the European Parliament, in the interest of the government and coalition on 13 December, there was a temptation not to make public information about the rubbish of the Polish wounded soldier on the border in the temple Dubich
- 3 days before the election, on Thursday 6 June at a press conference on the fresh March arrest of soldiers by the Minister of National Defence Kosiniak-Kamish gave information on Private Sitka's condition, saying that his wellness is inactive severe
- Shortly after this conference, German writer Onetu Andrzej Stankiewicz revealed the information obtained by the portal that Private Mateusz Sitek had been dead for respective hours. Andrzej Stankiewicz states: "We have confirmed in all possible sources that this soldier is dead. There are 2 possibilities either Kosiniak is telling the fact or he doesn't know“. Both possibilities presented by the writer are shocking. If the Minister of National Defence in specified an crucial and delicate substance is publically lying, if in the face of upcoming elections he deliberately hides information about the death of a soldier, then he should be deprived of the anticipation of holding any public office for life. If he does not know, then he turns out to be a figurehead, a pawn played by others, including most likely peculiar services, and it is in the case of the national defence minister that is an apparent threat to Poland
It is worth noting that this scandalous information was revealed by the German portal, openly supporting the Civic Platform policy, always positively writing about Donald Tusk and all his activities. And this time – strangely – the information published by Onet on June 6 turns out to be electoral fuel for Tusk and his formation. In the last hours of the election run the 3rd Road with Kosiniak-Kamish taci violently supported, barely slipping through the electoral threshold. any voters reroute their support from Kosiniak-Kamish's group to Tusk's group, which, though close by, is yet ahead of the hated United Right in the election after a fewer years. The Polish government is not created in Europarlament, a majority coalition among Polish Euro-Parliamentarians is not needed here. In these elections, the signal for Europe and the signal for Germany was that the law-breaking Donald Tusk government has the top support among Polish voters. And Private Matthew Sitek? His posthumous promotion to the rank of Sergeant will be called Our Hero, his name will be worn by the first Abrams tank. Cynicism and hypocrisy. Good thing we have poets. Thanks to the poets we will survive, thanks to the poets Poland will survive. Below is the shocking poem by Agata Lalik “Degrengolada”.
Mr Bogdan
Woe to you people due to the fact that you close your eyes
erstwhile the Red Plague is again rolling our country.
Woe to you, alas woe for inactivity for silence
erstwhile the fat is savory, erstwhile morality is silent.
Your hands are embarrassing, your lips are gagging,
They impose vision, control taste.
The crack of the cross in the capital carries,
And I ask how much the people will endure.
Nowa Huta model is the defence of the cross,
present the clergy are afraid erstwhile the cross is humiliated.
Time to do the bill and get down on your knees
with a rosary under a watch-and-watch parliament until morning.
The state is made of cardboard, the nation does not believe
Even though the invader murders a soldier.
Posthumous medals, this is simply a mockery.
erstwhile your parent loses her boy with your permission.
Where the director, where the actor, where the celebrity,
Who so eagerly greeted strangers?
Who spit on the uniform made us criminals,
Polish blood is now on his hands and face.
Woe to the nation that inactive sleeps
erstwhile your kids are already training Drag queen.
No Pilecki, no Norwid is on a pedestal
But the smudge, the margin continues to rise.
White phosphorus falls on innocent children
You won't announcement the minute he gets to us.
Don't think it's a dream or a imagination of sinister
They'll kill you as well as their god.
Woe to you people, wake up and fight
The ancestors broke a million swords, shields.
Time to leave the grill and get off the couch.
It is time to remove these criminal paws from Poland.
