Simplicity In Sacrifice: Motivated Health Care Workers Poem by Terence George Craddock

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 to the doctors nurses
first responders ambulance drivers crew,
all health workers who put their lives
on the line health workers like ant hives;

busy healing communities prepared
to sacrifice to slave to die for you;
when disease ravishes patients are queens
many hive workers slave to save lives;

when a patient angry drugged out of tree
is bought in fresh off addiction streets;
rants rages strikes punches health workers
causes injury but judge in law court says;

ok no foul poor patient was deranged
this is a crime against dishonoured staff;
state government must provide resources
measures to protect to honour health staff;

doctors nurses first responders
ambulance drivers crews are 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 conditions;
lame duck government worm politicians
will burden overwork exploit health staff;

unselfish people give give with heart
power money addicts take take in greed;
often give none politicians demand respect
take creed for 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
