Against the Winds of Change

Title: Against the Winds of Change

The winds of change blow strong and fierce,
A trend of tax cutting appears.
But revenues decline, budgets tighten,
And our dreams, in doubt and frighten.

The promises made, hopes are high,
To ease the burden, to touch the sky.
Yet the numbers speak a different tale,
A reality we cannot curtail.

Services suffer, the people in need,
Left behind in this endless creed.
Education, health, and social care,
All sacrificed in this fiscal affair.

Proponents argue for economic growth,
But the reality remains untroth.
For without means to fund the state,
Our future becomes uncertain and late.

Let us not forget that all must play,
Their part in this taxing ballet.
For a fair system we must ascertain,
Where burdens are shared, not profane.

So, let us heed the warnings true,
And consider the impacts it may ensue.
State tax cutting, a controversial trend,
Faces headwinds that may never mend.
