Mea Culpa

I come in peace

with good intent

My bad behavior

I certainly lament.

"Mea Culpa,"

is my real plea

I was not thinking

as you can plainly see.

Please forgive me.

I don't deserve

but hope for mercy;

that peace can be preserved.

Non-Person

I am now a pale ghost

according to the Party.

I've been blocked by Democrats

on Facebook by the hosts.

I offered a critique

of how I was treated

A constructive appraisal -

You'd think I'd havoc wreaked.

They allow G.O.P

who are boisterous and rude,

but I'm a Party member,

kept under lock and key.

They won't answer appeals

questioning their stand;

They're acing like I am dead;

The protest is concealed.

This isn't new to me:

 My invisibility.

I've always been hard to see

to the powers that be.

What they want is some peace

to assist the elections.

What they get is more turmoil

Because I'll speak my piece.
