Suited in green and blue
Armed with steths and IV packs;
With masks strapped on, personnel on call
A battalion rushes to prep its stores.
A flurry of activity takes place
Soldiers marching and signals coming
With minds in focus and targets positioned
The commander assigns his delegation
The usual casualty arrives in fib
A, B, C - the drill begins
Just like clockwork, all hands on deck
The daily struggle getting one life back
With stealth they put their camo on
Awaiting any ambush strikes
Despite mine traps set and smokescreen
Neither prepped them for COVID-19
Alpha came and Beta went
It seemed they would survive this wave
But delta arrived and chaos ensued
Bodies piled up, survivors a few
Alive but scarred - a common remark
They shared their stories and battle signs
Filled with exhaustion they carried on
Ready to fight with Omicron
