The year of nurses to be celebrated
The year of tremedous change in the nursing profession
The future in our present
Oh how we rejoiced to be part of the vision
But they never told us our lives will be at risk
They never forewarned us to again this beast called corona virus
They never told us we will have to wear face masks for long
They never told us we'd work overtime leaving our family and loved ones indefinitely
The year of the nurse midwife they said
This is pathetic!
We are supposed to celebrate and be celebrated
It ought to be all about us
But oh well, its about us risking ourselves for others
What a year!
Our lives are in danger,
No personal protective device/devices
And what do we get in return
A roar of "nursing is caring and a calling"
Corona why do you want the world to sing about you instead of singing about nurses?
The world ought to be singing about the nurses and not you
The world ought to be spending on the nurse midwife but hey you won
Too bad!
We faced and combated Ebola in Nigeria and lost our dear JUSTINA
We are facing lassa with our colleagues as patient
We are no way near done and what did we get in return, a beast in the form of a virus
I know you'd be feeling all fly and glad you've taken over and instilled fear in the heart of everyone but guess what?
Its too bad you came at the wrong time..
We the nurse midwife won't stop untill you are totally eradicated with our victory song lingering on our lips forever!
