AGNIESZKA RUCZAJ

THE LOST SON

it was the middle of the night

or the middle of the day

I only remember

that it was dark

I was afraid of

looking into Your eyes

You had explained to me

how should I live

I did not manage

I came to You

with my head down

I was expecting a punishment

You hugged me

THE VICTORY

Dedicated To Prof. I. K., Prof. M. T.

some martyrs

have not lost their lives

but they are passed by

with sneering

they do not have things

they should have

they are told

to be worse

but they

can still see

the real values

but they

still believe

that it all makes sense

because

if they are able

to rescue

even one person

they will win

FREEDOM

how many times

have you been embarrassed

to be yourself

and you have said

I am sorry

I will not do it again

how many times

have you fallen silent

ashamed with

your own words

which throught

unwanted truth

how many times

have you followed the crowd

looking at the aim

the real aim

which was receding

how many times

have you limited your freedom

you

free human
