We tell them that they're heroes;
Stand outside and clap
But are they meant to die for us?
Is it enough to clap?

We praise their dedication,
Utterly selfless care
But where is that equipment?
Why is it not there?

Medics are not soldiers
They don't sign up for war
They are not meant to die for us
Just to give us care.

We praise our gallant medics
But it's plain for all to see
They need the right protection
Where's the PPE?
