about

The sick and dying lining the hallways is will be the lasting image in my head from my experience as a firefighter/paramedic during the Summer and Fall of 2021. I witnessed the total exhaustion and collapse of an already beleaguered health care system. People (even non-Covid related patients) often died in the hallway, waiting for a nurse or physician to see them because, simply put, there weren't enough healthcare workers to take care of them. So, as a paramedic, I gave life saving drugs and did every intervention I could to keep them alive until they could be seen with more intensive care- and unfortunately people would die, with me as their only witness, in hallways surrounded by other sick, injured and dying strangers.

Meanwhile, people like Kelly Loeffler (a Georgia senator) got away with such unbelievable crimes. Loeffler spun the same web in the begging of the pandemic that Trump did - that it wasn't a big deal, that it was a mere flu, that it would go away. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, privy to intense government briefings on the severity of the coming storm, Loeffler (amongst others) dumped millions of dollars of stock in businesses they knew would nose dive during this time, and used the profits to pad stocks in companies they knew would rise during a long-term global pandemic. They profited off of death, and they got away with it completely.

This song is a thank you to those who fought to save lives, who worked forced overtime, who had to sequester themselves from their families during the pre-vaccine pandemic. This song is also a message to those who downplayed and profited during that time: I will never forget you, and neither will the spirits of those whom which you profited from.
