one very good thing

There's a new awareness rising up 
That won't be soon forgotten 
Among the downtrodden exploited class
Now revealed as the essential workers.

The entire country would quickly collapse 
If they stopped taking care of everything 
As everyone knows by now if you didn't already 
And yet they are the lowest paid of all.

These are the jobs that make the world go round 
Workers so often disrespected in ordinary times 
Used to being invisible to the people they serve
Suddenly shown their potential power.

When working conditions put your life at risk
And you have a sense of yourself as somebody 
And everyone around you knows they are essential 
The situation begs for collective action. 

If the underclass gets organized 
Raising their voices demanding their due 
That will be one very good thing
Comes out of this terrible pandemic.
