Dr Galaxy was in charge of Covid isolation ward E,
Anonymous with her face visor covered by a mask
She was suited and booted covered with PPE.
~
She wore her name on a badge all could plainly see
She was a healing presence with an unenviable task
Dr Galaxy was in charge of Covid isolation ward E.
~
When the horrors accumulated to a terrible degree
Surrounded by suffering the infection rate vast
She was suited and booted covered with PPE.
~
High tension in the ward, science couldn’t foresee
Some recovered, yet many patients breathed their last,
Dr Galaxy was in charge of Covid isolation ward E.
~
It seemed the virus, out of control, running free,
Indiscriminately passing from person to person so fast
Staff were suited and booted covered with PPE
~
The professionals clapped whenever a patient was free,
They were too busy fighting to stop in their glory to bask,
Dr Galaxy was in charge of Covid isolation ward E.
She was suited and booted covered with PPE.
