From the Polish Underground:
“Yes”, She Says
Yes, I survived.
Now I face an
equally serious challenge: to get
on a bus,
to go home.
Ryszard Krynicki (1943)
“The work of human thought should withstand the test of brutal, naked reality. If it cannot, it is worthless. Probably only those things are worth while which can preserve their validity in the eyes of a man threatened with instant death.”
(From The Captive Mind, by Czeslaw Milosz, page 41)
You Who Have Wronged
You, who have wronged a simple man,
Bursting into laughter at his suffering,
Keeping around a crew of clowns
To confound good and evil,
Even if all bowed down before you
Ascribing to you virtue and wisdom,
Forcing gold metals in your honour,
Content to live through one more day,
Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.
You may kill him- a new one will be born.
Deeds and talks will be recorded.
A winter dawn would be better for you,
And a rope and branch bent under the burden.
Czeslaw Milosz

To Znowu Rap Addix (ft. Dj Ace)
Rap AddixPrawdziwy przykład tego, że podziemie i legalną scenę w polskim rapie dzieli gruba i nieprzekraczalna granica. Najlepszy numer jaki wyszedł w tym roku w Polsce. Niezmiernie cieszy mnie to, że underground znowu pokazuje pazur, którym rozszarpuje całą mainstreamową papkę #RapAddix
