A Salute A Standing Ovation: For Doctors Nurses First Respondersers Poem by Terence George Craddock

A Salute A Standing Ovation: For Doctors Nurses First Respondersers



I wonder how much
reasons for helping matter,
motivation will effect
quantity quality of help given,
harmony is like music, small
missed notes drowned out
in an orchestra; as a whole
by most untrained unheard;

or are disruptive attitudes
elements, a less caring soul
may harbour, dangerous
to an overall performance;
aid freely given is a blessing
disorganization is a curse,

all have skills suitability
to any required social task;
common goals organization
achieves; practice does make
perfect; with right staff right
training the right resources;

the true masters of unselfish life
are those who will give everything,
for those who can do nothing
for them these are exceptional souls;
tribute is due hard workers doctors nurses
first responders ambulance drivers crew;
all health workers who put their own lives
on the line health workers like ant hives;

busy healing hospital community prepared
to pandemic sacrifice to slave to die for you;
when disease ravishes patients are queens
many hand hive workers slave to save lives;
when patient angry drugged out of mind tree
is bought in fresh off dirty addiction streets;
rants rages strikes punches health workers
causes injury but slack judge law court says;

ok no foul poor patient was drug deranged
this is a crime against dishonoured staff;
state government must provide resources
measures to protect to honour health staff;
doctors nurses first life saver responders
ambulance drivers crews are magic glues;
like surgeons patching up pain societies
healing ill who cannot help themselves;

a salute a standing ovation is their due
respect better pay better safe conditions;
lame duck government worm politicians
will burden overwork exploit health staff;
unselfish people give give with entire heart
power money addicts take take in lust greed;
often give nothing politicians demand respect
take credit owed true heroes sacrifice deeds;

the true masters of gift giving life
are those who will give everything;
for those powerless who can do nothing
for themselves the healers of strife;
salute stand a moments silence for true heroes
