Calloused Stewards

Each of us challenged
to be warm hearted
compassion for our neighbors
lifting them up

Will we be judged
as calloused stewards
hard-hearted choices
cutting services
on the back of our neighbors

Can we afford
in the covenant of our people
the commitment to each other
to remove this funding
to limit the freedoms
to the least of our people
when we choose to freeze taxes
on the richest of us

written at Pembroke Town Meeting

&
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

Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire
