In fact, the title of the poem itself is meant to be ironic - I like your addition \'wince at the praise\'.
We do not need/want praise - we just want things back to normal so we can continue working without feeling exhausted and like it\'s never gonna end

No. Not at all.
Under staffed and under paid.
Attacked by a government who refuses aid.
Apathy high and morale so low
Health workers vaccinate
Or be told to go
Media shapes \'the good old days\'
And yet health workers
Wince at the priase
Nothing changes or ever will
Despite which way you might feel ill
There is a battle
This is true
But the enemy isn\'t
A dangerous flu
It\'s the hypocrisy
And lies that hurt us all
From politicians
Who have no clue
As someone who has been in hospital with covid, is in the health and social care bracket and works alongside health care. I\'m sorry, but this romanticised view of things is misguided. These guys work bloody hard every single day even before covid. The NHS is consistently getting less and less funding every year. And now with covid they have been forced to take a vaccine that a high percentage of them do not want to do. It\'s wrong. So yes your poem, which is very good and has a lovely sentiment, has only got one thing right. There is a war but it is on the NHS itself. Sorry. But I feel so strongly about this. And so do many others who work in the industry.

may I ask why your font size is so small?
a visual addition, to your poetry\'s imagery, maybe?
but it des make it a little hard
for us to read you work, sadly..
(thought provoking words
how? do we quantify
the regressive costs
of modernity\'s supposed, progress?)
