The Brave Moroccan Doctors

Dark crawling clouds 

Prevail over my city Agadir 

Approaching with thundering sounds, 

And diffusing an air of despair! 

Running away to hide, 

I stumble in all sides 

A soft touch on my hands 

Just lead me aside! 

And whisper me: “STAY HOME”!! 

And “NEVER GET OUTSIDE!” 

“WASH YOUR HANDS”! 

And:” REST AND PRAY IN CALM!” 

As the soft hand moves away 

The shade of a DOCTOR, 

Through darkness walks away 

My hero throws me a last glance 

Full of hope and advises me twice: 

“FROM BELOVED ONES TO DISTANCE!!” 

As he disappears in the dark clouds, 

I still hear his words of wisdom 

That I should keep and spread, 

All over our beloved kingdom
