Tearing the Fabric

The choices being made
to cut services
for the poor, the disabled
the aged, our family

Tearing the fabric
our connection together
compartmentalizing
the people we should hold dear

The cost to these families
real, concrete
a mother crying
for you to truly hear

What will this do
to the fabric of community
if we save ourselves some pain
on the backs of those in need

March 13, 2011
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.
