An Immoral Choice - 2 - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Making them our sacrifice
cutting their services
defunding the programs
that help those in need

An immoral choice
pitting our neighbors
the poor, the aged, the infirm
in competition for
the crumbs we will leave them

March 18, 2011
Cuts approved by the NH House Finance Committee and
Constitutional Amendment proposed by Rep. Neal Kirk
to remove safety net of town welfare
&
Leviticus 4
&
calling on the NH Legislature
and the Governor
to spare those without a voice
those who need us
from the severe budget cuts
that are currently planned
in HB1 and HB2, etc.
&
in part based on the testimony
