May 3

Installation of word-music on the occasion of the May 3rd Constitution ... / fragments /

Homeland - close to the word,
In the heart of the Fatherland-All the usual word, Why so close?
Homeland - this time the old,
Homeland - a time of close,
It's a nice family home and the mother eyes clear
Homeland - this is a familiar question from the cradle
Homeland - that we ourselves are our own hearts!

They talk about us that we are a nation - perhaps like no other - fascinated by the past and love for God and country?

Is this true? What mean for today's young generation these words? Can you ignore them, erase from our consciousness? Are other nations by assigning us to mistake these virtues?
Our task is to affirm themselves and others that still have these virtues, can only have been a little overshadowed by the difficulties of everyday life.

For hundreds of young people is one of many meaningless ceremony. Today, at the beginning of the next millennium, living in a crazy pace, deny any value, we reject any form of worship of the past, sticking to the fore the present life. So we rebel against the pompous and grandiloquent words. Bored rallies, events, appeals, anniversaries, holidays. But do we need and should be?
After all, a nation that does not know his past, he dies and does not build the future.

So what we worship for May 3rd?

It is spring 1791. Relations in Europe began to fall into place for the Polish failure.
Russia wants to gain the freedom of action in Poland.
The Prussian government has reached an agreement with Austria, and seeks to renew its relationship wz Empress, which is another threat to Polish ..

In the country, opponents of reform, they develop their business, seeking support from foreign courts, nobility incite backward, as a possible reform of saving the country, they take them to destroy Poland privileges.

We did it!
Four-Year Sejm, after many hardships, translations, adopted a constitution - a document that would give Poland a chance - it was the day May 3, 1791.
In an atmosphere of tremendous elation patriotic Polish king took an oath to the Constitution.
This was the second constitution in the world, this fact testifies to the great political maturity of the Polish patriots!

Why is joy so great?
This act introduced a true freedom, while eliminating that which destroyed Poland and pulled it to the bottom of Europe!

Our ancestors lived 218 years ago, they knew they understood what true freedom and were able to find a way out for the ailing country.
The highest value was their homeland!

Cheers to them!

And who you ask:
Who are you this, how are you straight?
Speak thou with this crop of rye,
Because you of these meadows, as smelling of honey.
Say you're from the hut, which
Piast was the hut.
Thou from the earth, whose flowers
Nursed bitter dew.

Without this love can live
Have a heart as dry as a nut
Tiny thimble to drink fate
Away from the miseries and consolations,
On his own know where hope
In the darkness hiding the uwić,
A light decayed to say "dawning"
The glare of the sun not to say anything.

Native earth, land of light,
I will not be knocked down a tree. Daily
Grows stronger in you
Joy, sorrow, pride, anger
I do not like a broken thread.
I reject the hollow-sounding words.
You can not love you - and live,
But you can not bear fruit.
