Defibrillation by Clair Wright

 Applications invited

From would-be resurrectionists

Who aspire

To restart hesitant hearts,

Shock shuddering souls back from the brink,

Defeat death with a single jolt.

Applications invited

From rising revivalists

Who seek

To galvanise passers-by

Harness the hope in healing hands

Train the tender touch of a thousand volts.

Applications invited

From eager opportunists

With the nerve

To make daring deals with death

Backed by whip-rounds and raffles

For the power of life in a lightning bolt.

Inspired by an article in the Huddersfield Examiner 12^th January 2016 about grants for to install defibrillators in village communities.
