In South Africa, ambulances face attack,
No reverence left, just a cruel act.
Paramedics brave, their mission clear,
Facing danger and scorn, hearts filled with fear.
Through the Red Zone they race, sirens wail,
Thieves target them, no mercy prevail.
Phones, wallets taken, a dangerous spree,
Respect eroded, where safety should be free.
In Cape Town's streets, a risky affair,
Ambulance crews face a constant scare.
No honor given, no safe respite,
Just bravery shining in the midst of this plight.
In the chaos of crime, they stand strong,
Heroes of the night, amid all wrong.
Their courage shines, a beacon bright,
In a world where respect takes a flight.
