Enemy attack – A Patients View

I was young like you not long ago

I had passion let my feelings show

I had hopes and dreams..a new young bride

children...a few at my side

I went through the war that was

my friends fought for he cause

Now I am here and I don’t know why

I feel I only came here to die

Where’s the Nurse that was here last night

she’s not like you she didn’t fight

She was gentle and kind with her approach

you make me feel ashamed and childish with your reproach

When you came at me from the back

I defended myself from an enemy attack

by the time you told me who you were

you called other people...my mind was a blur

You took me back to days of fighting and war

your voice was louder and your touch made me sore

Couldn’t you have left me in peace to clear my head

did it have to be that exact minute to get out of bed

Are you too rushed and used to your job

did you really have to bring that angry mob

were they Nurses too or kids off the street

they looked so young and nearly knocked me off my feet

Where’s the other Nurse that was here last night

we had a cup of tea...it felt just right
