Dedicated To Doctors Who Are Fighting Corona

Inspiration : Our eminent poet,  Krish Radhakrishnan who is also a doctor handling corona patients. Once he commented that I feel guilty when they give me leave. Another time he commented that some days we are so exhausted that we have no heart to do anything. If everyone followed rules corona cannot spread. This would give health workers much needed respite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you go out without worry
Without precaution, not wearing a mask...
think of the doctors out there 
working hard and day and night 
trying to save every life
It is not easy for them!

Frightened faces all around 
so many deaths in front of them 
just think of their state of mind

Covered by PPE, sweating inside 
mask on face, not easy to breathe
full day handling patients with patience 
life is most tough for them

Still they are doing it for us!
we are duty bound to take precautions
Please think about them before you go out 
Or do any social function

Just because they are good we should not take advantage
suppose they become irresponsible 
say we are tired we are going on leave
Just imagine your plight

A big salute to their sincerity and dedication
working under extreme conditions still they smile to their patients
talk with hope and faith 
this has been going on for months
still they continue to serve 

Being a doctor is not easy
Wear PPE for 1 hour and see
Wear mask at home for 1 hour and see 
Serve a corona patient without thinking of self and family

They are doing so much 
how are we ever going to repay them?
By doing our best to avoid getting corona we can help big way
If all take care, how will corona spread?

Doctors are God to me
Being a doctor is not easy

Rama you are absolutely right! PPE was our only protection against this deadly virus and many of us were high risk to contract the disease. we lost doctors and nurses in their early 30s and 40s and it was heart breaking! You have penned a powerful poem in such simple words, and as a man on the ground this appeals to me most! A favourite!! Thanks for the tribute you have paid all the health workers in the world!!
