Why am I writing?

I write to my brothers

To the brothers who have always stood to me from the womb

And to my enemies;

I’m not just saying this day and today

I said it when I was away

Yesterday and before sunset

I’ll say it tomorrow too

After sunset — a new road

And even after the end of the world

And it will always remain my duty.

I am writing because I feel my Poland in my heart!

I do my duty to it

I commune with history

That not only them, but also me

Once they were the ones who

With or without an arrow

From the common womb to defend themselves

They were oppressed by the devils of the West

Sought, hunted down — their heads immediately lost

But the soul of a Pole did not perish in them

And even in a difficult moment his voice resounds

In the rub, after meeting death

Still in shooters stand

Not for themselves — it disappeared to a small extent in the dream

It’s for the homeland, for your womb

It’s for generations, their children

Some of my deaths ended the same conversation

Today the unknown are welcomed in their graves

What was it for me to argue with worms today, years later?

Because they never lost faith that they could do something more

And even though they were defenseless, because they held a smaller weapon in their hands

It is in the soul that they have been invincible

And they brought out their duty.

And the duty of my decade is many;

To keep the memory of them alive,

To remember what art their achievements were,

And the most important thing that sounded in my soul

Today it is my duty

And today I will fulfill my duties.

Chapter 1

On the Rise of Evil

Year 1701 January 1

In the ruins of a medieval castle, at midnight, near Nuremberg, two Witches meet, who come from Berlin and Moscow and write tragic fates for the world and Polish. Later on, the Satan of war appears.

(A terrible storm breaks out, loud bangs of feathers are heard, from which the blood of future victims flows. Two figures emerge from the ground)

THE WITCH OF BERLIN

How good it is to straighten your own back after so many centuries. Exactly nine hundred years had passed since I predicted the creation of Germany. Ah… It’s time to give them strength!

THE WITCH OF MOSCOW

I’m a little younger than you, but we both have the same thing in common. Peace on earth. Ha, ha, ha! You who came up with this idea — you are ridiculous.

(Both Witches laugh)

It’s time to get started!

(Both speak the words of black power spells)

Satan, wake up! Satan, wake up! Satan, wake up! Show everyone your horns! Show how powerful you are! You who always live! You who only united can defeat you! Open your eyes! Get moving! Where do you have your teeth? Show them at last! Satan, resurrect us! And cast on this planet locusts of human misery. Let’s extinguish this world! Satan of the war of the resurrection! Let all the planets line up! Satan of war, awake!

(A finger appears from the ground, followed by a whole hand. In the meantime, a strong hurricane is raging outside, a tornado can be seen in the distance, a loud storm breaks out. All the trees break and the animals run away. After a loud lightning strike, which completely destroyed the medieval castle, Satan appears)

THE SATAN OF WAR

Yes. Yes! That’s it! Eventually. The last time I saw this cursed world was when I was fighting with God. It was at the beginning of the world. Today I am back! Do you hear me, Earth? Came back!

God! Mm… Another one who thought he would beat me. Ha, ha, ha! I can only be defeated by forces allied and united at any moment. And no one will ever unite with anyone. So I’m going to last forever!

All this time I was only growing stronger. I am more powerful than I was at the time of the last battle. See my huge tail and horns? Ha, ha, ha! You’re gone, world!

German and Russian Witch, look and admire my power!

(The Satan of War puts a curse on the world. When the words are spoken, figures in the form of a ghost appear one by one)

In a few years, let them be born to the executioner of this world! Bismarck would be born in Germany, Tsar Alexander in Russia, Senator Novosiltsov and other criminals. In the following centuries, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Herman Goering, Rudolf Hoess, Albert Speer, Dr. Mengele, Goebbels and other criminals. Let the Communists, Nazis and Muslims rule this world! And in 2022, one of the criminals will turn the whole world upside down and destroy it completely!

(Satan of War disappears with the souls)

THE WITCH OF BERLIN

We made it! At last! This world will fall apart.

THE WITCH OF MOSCOW

Yes! At last! In more than three hundred years, one of them will destroy this world.

Chapter 2

In the heavens

(Guardian Angel, Angel I, and Angel III meet in heaven to discuss matters on earth.)

(The angels look down at the enchanted portal that shows the current fate of the Commonwealth)

GUARDIAN ANGEL

Just look at this poor Poland, at the tormented Lithuania. What a life these Lithuanians and Poles have. It’s not life. It’s hell!

ANGEL III

Ration. They need to be helped somehow.

ANGEL I

True, true. But how?

GUARDIAN ANGEL

I will stand guard over Poles and Lithuanians and I will support them spiritually. You, on the other hand, create great Poles as well. We will send them as reinforcements to the earth.

ANGEL I

Yes, Guardian Angel. Angel, call upon the Heavenly Forces.

ANGEL III

Most Serene Heavenly Forces! The most powerful forces of heaven! Poland, down there, is suffering. She is beaten by the Satans of War. Help us help her. Heavenly Forces, I call upon you!

(It’s getting brighter in the sky. The Heavenly Forces, one of the most powerful in the heavens, appear.)

HEAVENLY FORCES

Republic? Poland? Is it beaten? This wonderful nation is suffering? Ah, evil is in every place where a step was taken and where a step has never been seen. And we are still not united?

GUARDIAN ANGEL

No.

HEAVENLY FORCES

Today we will help you and our friends on earth. To make it better for them, we will give you the most powerful, blue magic. From this magic, as we have said ourselves, you will create great Poles. They will help the Republic of Poland.

(Each of the three Heavenly Forces gave away some of their power, straight from their own souls. Then they disappeared into thin air)

(The three balls of the most powerful power revolve around the Angels)

(Angels make up the three most powerful Poles. In the meantime, the Guardian Angel disappears to complete his task as soon as possible)

ANGEL III

You, who will save Poland. You, who are created by the power of the Heavenly Forces. Save the Republic of Poland. Lead this nation to victory.

ANGEL I

Józef Piłsudski, Jan Ignacy Paderewski and Roman Dmowski, save Poles from the torment of the Satans of War.

(Three blue souls appear)

ANGEL III

Not long the Commonwealth. Not long now…

Chapter 3

Partitions of the Republic of Poland

The First Partition of Polish, the Whole World

In 1772, an act of the highest crime was committed by Russia, Prussia and Austria. These countries carried out the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, it was strange that other European countries, such m.in as France, showed the partitioning countries that they agreed to this shameful act and were fully justified. From the balance of power in Europe, the countries did not help the Poles and Lithuanians, but the criminals. The other strongest elites on the Old Continent accepted the partition of Polish with indifference! At the time, it was believed that the coalition of Russia-Prussia-Austria could not be permanently defeated, which was complete nonsense. The bandits plundering the freedom of Poles and Lithuanians justified this act. In fact, there was no justification for such an act.

The situation of Polish, which was dismantled from all sides: from the North, South, East and West by three bandit European countries, changed the time in Europe at that time. The time from a steady peace in the world was changed to a time of crime and chaos, from which genocides, deportations to Siberia, deprivation of people’s dignity and freedom emerged. It can be said that the partitions of Polish are the direct beginning of catastrophes in the world. It was then that the first war criminals began to breed. If other countries in the world had not allowed the dismantling of the Republic of Poland, we would most likely not have seen it after about one hundred and fifty years of World War I. The world there was on the way to rebirth from unnecessary wars and senseless chaos. It was those times that began the beginning of normality. The United States gained independence across the Atlantic, France became republics, and the Commonwealth was reborn after the seventeenth-century wars. The shattered time of peace by the three bandits is felt to this day. If it had not been for the indifference of the elites of the Old Continent, who in fact also brought great misfortune on themselves, today’s world would look completely different. Perhaps without Germany with Adolf Hitler at the helm. Perhaps also without Russia led by Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin or Vladimir Putin. Stopping in those times, and not breeding criminals, could have allowed for better later times.

PS: France! You should have hit then, not sit down at the table after two hundred and forty-two years. Haven’t you learned that they can’t be trusted?

The Third Partition of Polish, the Whole World

The year 1795 marked the beginning of the end of the existence of the Polish state, and consequently its complete liquidation. The Third Partitions of the Republic of Poland were again carried out by the same three European countries. Poland disappeared from all maps of the world at that time. Maps with the contours of the borders of the Republic of Poland were destroyed and forgotten forever, but Poland was never forgotten by its faithful inhabitants. The processes of Germanization, Russification were aimed at replacing Poles with Germans and Russians, so that in the future there would never be Polish again and so that Poland would disappear into eternal oblivion. The Old Continent still did not react.
