Back To Our Future

US Election Day. November 2024

Did you wake up this morningTo a sense of DéJà Vu'We've been here before' you thought'This feeling isn't new' A hangover from the time beforeMore challenging to recoverWhat prescription can you give meI don't have strength for yet another... Four more years of making great again?When was it great before?Did it feel like things were betterBeyond his presidential previous four? 'I've got a plan' he repeats againSomething we've heard many timesAnd yet all we seem to hear aboutAre his failures, lies and crimes He always holds the 'Trump Card'This time with Elon's 'Tusk'His dramatic galactic touch downThe intoxicating scent of Musk Drawn by the strong and powerfulThey magnetise their preyAnd we, the royal collective weInticed by all they do and say We are all guilty for his reprisalHis historical returnWe completely missed the boat againFor those extra votes they earn  There is an appetite amongst usFor something more than we have gotHe scores the points of least resistanceAnd now he's won the lot I'm fearful for our futureWe're all neighbours on this earth What will come from this historic dayTo what fate has this day given birth? The message to those youngerIs that the bullies will prevailThat hope is on a different boatThe anchors raised and now set sail Four more years, four more yearsTo do his merry danceTo then simply pass the baton onTo apprentice Vice-President JD Vance They turned their back to our futureBut we want our future backSwing with me upon life's pendulumTowards those values that they lack
