Heroes At the Viral Battlefront
In despair and on lockdown
A city is turned into a one horse town
Its people are on the frontline to save the Earth
As all of humanity holds its breathe
Flights canceled, fright heightened
Travelers hustled, prayers recited
Somewhere a hero is taking a risk by treating the infected
A hero is at the borderlines having people inspected
A hero with no name, is taking a bullet for billions across the world
A bullet they can’t see, hear, touch or smell
Their sacrifice a reminder that wherever you come from
The earth is one shared home
