On The Front Lines
Veteran nurses, doctors on the front lines
New days beckon, and with them, uphill battles
Scattered about are fragmentation grenades, landmines,
Hospital staff planning for the worst, stockpiling limited resources, cops with quotas down, a reduction in issued fines,
We must be alert like poised snakes shaking their rattles,
Veteran nurses, doctors on the front lines
The sun peaks out from the moon, how it divinely shines,
Humanity on indefinite pause, bodies cryogenically frozen, unable to travel, a decision as finite as judges’ swung gavels,
Scattered about are fragmentation grenades, landmines ,
We are adapting to treacherous terrain, the volatility of the new millennium, the tragedy of Columbine,
The pangs of pain, immeasurable
Veteran nurses, doctors on the front lines
In times of strife, as people, finding ourselves the ability to redefine,
Power structures in a state of dismantle,
Scattered about are fragmentation grenades, landmines,
Please, don’t take, out of desperation the Methamphetamine,
as you spew, in a delirious state, unintentional psychobabble,
Veteran nurses, doctors on the front lines
Scattered about are fragmentation grenades, landmines,
