dusk arising

unlikely bunch

 

you might think us an unlikely bunch
consigned to a side room
today\'s chosen strangers
for front line action
five dedicated fighters
who knowingly may
face the final sacrifice
each of us committed
to put to death an evil invader
with not a second thought
but we are not the heroes here
the heroes of the day are those
who have voluneered their time
to bring tea, biscuits and good cheer
those who insert canulas into our veins
carefully administering mysterious drugs bags
which feed our intravenous drips
 
On parade today we are:-
Oncology\'s Chemotherapy Irregulars.
