Shielded Light

(mmmmm-mmm) Amidst all the dust and the heat of the day,

The medical teams found a path and a way.

A drop on the tongue for the young ones who wait,

To shield them from illness and alter their fate.

Over a million doses brought into the light,

While others stayed silent and stayed out of sight.

A gesture of medicine through conflict and strain,

To keep a generation protected from pain.

(protected from pain)

No aid from the borders that sit to the south,

Just white-coated workers putting drops in each mouth.

A campaign of health while the diplomats talk,

So children in Gaza can grow up and walk.

Over a million doses brought into the light,

While others stayed silent and stayed out of sight.

A gesture of medicine through conflict and strain,

To keep a generation protected from pain.

(grow

up and walk)
