Emergency Exit : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

In a hospital tent where the injured are sent

There's never enough hours in the day .

 

There's no rest for the wicked even less for the good ,

and there's always a high price to pay  

 

Since war had begun the casualties come

in a steady flow at the emergency door .

 

 

No one reimburses the doctors and nurses for all the hours

they spend on the floor .

 

Waves of apprehension  built a bridge through the tension

as the incoming wounded arrived .

 

For carried on stretchers from the red cross ambulances

are some soldiers barely alive .

 

Pack And swab,

Oh dear God  it's a hell of a job ,

with no rest for the medical crew .

 

Some were chosen to survive the explosion

yet the operation they never saw through .

By Paul McCann
