The Steel Shield
A poem for all the front liners during covid-19 pandemic

They may look strong
They may appear tuff,
Smiling and walking sturdily
But they must be scared too…!
Go work with a lot of anxiety
All things seem confusing,
Even for skilled one like them
They would not really know what to expect
Even often overwhelmed by the demands
Outside their duties,
They must have rivals to win,
But they know there is one biggest enemy,
That should be exterminated
They must have dreams to reach,
But sincerely put it off for everyone hope,
The end of the pandemic…
And there must be a strong urge to please,
And pleased by the loving one
But those things become number two,
Or even the last to be fulfilled…
All selfishness is going taboo
All egos are rolled out
For something more urgent!
They are working long
Persevering through unpredictable circumstances
Struggled in the exhausting work,
Fear and heartbreak
Physically, mentally and emotionally worn out…
But they keep fight!
Risking their lives to save ours
The silent enemy must be destroyed
Get rid of them of the earth!
Some periods they seem a victory
Another day they could still see a long haul…
Some are survived,
Some are fell,
And gone to heaven
They’re the frontliner
They’re the steel shield
Ensuring our safety day by day
As hoping their courage uplift our spirit
They cooperate without surrender,
In this such a critical age in human history
They help and cure,
Only to give us relief
They’re the real Thor!
They’re our Captain America!
They’re our Wonder Woman!
Superheroes to save the world!
