Description
The common words on many Cenotaphs around the world is “LEST WE FORGET.” Cenotaphs are monuments often erected to commemorate the heroes of war. The outbreak of the coronavirus produced our unlikely heroes; our frontline warriors that rose up to the task of defending and saving many people from death of coronavirus. This painting was done in honour of our unlikely heroes; As we honour the living, LEST WE FORGET our falling Unlikely Heroes which is the tittle of this painting.
Lest we forget
Our unlikely heroes
As week by week by our doors’ steps
With hands, pans and pots applauded
As they answered the call of duty
Gallantly like courageous armies,
With People of commonwealth and foreign-born,
With the common purpose to serve and protect,
The Queen and the country they love so dear.
Lest we forget
Our unlikely heroes,
Once Overworked, under paid, under valued
Our only forces of defence still they were
On the evil days of pandemic.
Worn out and tired, still they battled on
With little thought of their own safety.
Separated from their loved ones
To save the lives of many.
Lest we forget
The pregnant nurse and the aged doctors
Out of retirements they came
To pay the ultimate price
To deliver many souls
From the jaw of the devourer.
As we continue to honour the living,
Our fallen unlikely heroes
Lest we forget.
