How can they do that day after day.
Put themselves at risk in our defence,
Surrounded at work by death and decay,
Our gratitude their only recompense?
How can they do that day after day,
Spit in the face of those who only care,
By their thoughtless actions make others pay,
And extend the duration of this scare?
We see the best and worst of us expressed,
The selfless and the selfish show their hand
While many heed the call to do what’s right,
Some congregate, not caring that it’s banned.
But sacrifice and love must soon prevail’
For all our futures sake we dare not fail.
