Tadeusz Borowski
Tadeusz Borowski Poems
Don't walk in the street,don't eat, don't live,
backbreaking work is all you're allowed,
and beware the sign that bares its teeth:
...
Staszek, my old friend,
from all the prisons of the earth
I come back to you
in a flight of poetry.
...
It's strange, like a dream: in the deep shadows of evening
to tumble down into narrow lanes, and rest my eyes
...
for Witek Piatkowski
They beat him all day, and the next. Nothing doing.
They beat him 'round the clock, all week.
...

The Best Poem Of Tadeusz Borowski
To The Germans
Don't walk in the street,don't eat, don't live,
backbreaking work is all you're allowed,
and beware the sign that bares its teeth:
'Only for Germans, others keep out.'
If you exist, you, up on high,
Eternal Judge, our Father, God,
Then on their life and on their culture
You will inscribe: Nur fur Deutsche.
When evening embraces the city,
we will walk calmly, slowly,
through Ksiazeca Street or down Smolna,
under the bridge, the arches and streetlights.
We will cross paths with strangers,
we will smile, and wait:
disinherited, unhappy women
and foolish, lonely poets.
