A Sad Gerrymandering Flood opus 666

16 October 2025 0735 Hours Politics, Current Events, Massachusetts
I was born in the state, Massachusetts,
Where the ignobile activity, Gerrymandering,
Was created to gain political power.
I am not at all proud of this anti democratic project.
We see now that states which have formerly striven
For fair and balanced internal political power,
Are now seduced to Gerrymander in order to tip national power,
Thus losing the aforementioned balance within each state.
This now opens a rush towards unfair, unbalanced, 'undemocracy'
In a once-society working towards representation for each and all.
