Charge Of The Vaccinated Poem by Patrick Fealy

Half again Half again
Half again onward
Into the valley of death
Rushed the Six Million
Forward not Fearful
Charge to the needle he said
Into the valley of death
Rushed the Six Million


Forward and unafraid!
Was there a man dismayed?
Not that the doctors knew
No one had blundered
Theirs was not to make reply,
Theirs was not to reason why,
Theirs was but to do or die:
Into the Valley of Death
Rushed the Six Million


Nurses to the right of them,
Doctors to the left of them,
Fauci in front of them
Blather and bluster
Stormed on with shot and sell,
Boldly they rushed and well,
Into the Jaws of Death,
Into the Mouth of Hell
Rushed the Six Million


Flash of the Syringe bare,
Flashed as it moved in air
Injecting and jabbing there,
Charging as an army, while
All the world wondered:
Plunged in the blood with stroke
Right in the vein they poked;
All scantily clothed
Reeled from the needle-stroke
Wielded by Villains
Then they came back,
but not
Not all Six Million


Needles to right of them,
Needles to left of them,
Fauci behind them
Foil and blunder;
Stormed on with shot and sell
While crowds full of heroes fell,
They that had meant so well
Came thru the Jaws of Death,
Back from the Mouth of Hell,
All that were left of them,
Left of Six Million


When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Vaccinated
Noble Six Million
