Jasper Sembie - Hippocratic Oath - A Tribute to Medics Who Died Fighting EBV in Sierra Leone lyrics

d**h - How we end as if we never were Memories fade as if we never cared It's weird, that from infancy to grey beard Humanity is smeared with the finitude of life, hence we're scared From the cradle to the grave, the womb to the tomb Willoughby was alive, he died, inhumed The certainty of d**h suggests humanity is doomed The surety of life is in the hereafter a**umed A Master of the Craft, a squared man indeed The Father of medicine, the walls of COMAHS bleed Their service to humanity is so worthy of note That despite the contagion, they honoured the Hippocratic Oath They could've withheld their sk**s, but answered on demand All hail our health workers, the healers of our land! Willoughby, Salia, George & Umar Khan S. Rogers, T. Rogers – Healers of our land! D Koroma, M. Cole and nurses who's names will long span Bock, Konoyiema, Healers of our land! From their mistakes we've learnt The dos don'ts shouldn't and can'ts Disaster mismanaged, accountability - scant They waited for Z-Map on d**h beds they pant Aid delayed. They promised, they rant On airwaves they chant: "ABC... wash hands" That's Avoid Body Contact, chorine water - rampant Our best and brightest KIA, they blew it "Don't treat the sick." Yeahh! But somebody had to do it A robust health system, it's time to pursue it The contagion, the epidemic, a black swan. Who knew it? At a time of recovery, fastest since the war God please prevent disasters from knocking at our door Aren't we the least of these? Don't God protect the poor? But wealthy nations flourish, our level is the floor Their courage, all the more An altruist galore All Hail our health workers! Their legacy we adore
