Angels in the Field

Is that all we could see Was that all we could tell Are these all we could talk about America accusing China of a virus That got spread across the world even in the cities of Cyprus About death in Italy, people buried daily in mass And the suspension of churches from morning and evening mass About Antichrist and the 5G network And how the world has lost its net worth Are these all we could talk about About palliative. Staying at home and washing our hand habitually To avoid being written an obituary We talk about the vaccine And whether or not the cure could be chloroquine But how on earth do we not mention the angels in the field The doctors, nurses, paramedics and other health workers Who tirelessly serve their communities Devoting their time and energy to control the spread of this virus Exposing themselves to covid 19 patients on dailies And will go back home to still stay with their families These are fathers They are mothers too Uncles and aunts Everyday they leave their homes with the fear of not returning And the fear of dying in the course of their duty They too have homes like you They are mortals They are exposed to the virus They can die from it But have never for one day decided to quit These are heroes Heroes of the battle we can't fight Standing before our bullets every day and night They are just like the mirrors The minute they shatter There's no way to gather The scattered pieces And yet they don't make headlines on our TVs Maybe we think they fell from the sky Or they were touched by the gods And can't turn to stone even if they look At the Gorgon Medusa Or maybe we think they were cursed To be the cure of the sickness we can't cure Maybe we don't know we have angels in the field Or maybe I'm just telling you.
