When we look back

When we look back,
And this present becomes past,
A few years in the future, will we be mad?
At our action or inaction, questions, what did you do Dad?
Besides vote, nothin' honey,
Bunches of Oats cereal commercial quote, no, I didn't donate money,
At low tide, the water is shallow and the pier is high,
The moon tugs at the ocean, but you don't question how or why,
Before you know it, water seeps deep, dark with a new look,
In 1999, I voted for Gore, but the electorial college picked Bush,
History repeats, hold tight to your lines back and front,
I voted for Hillary, but the majority chose Trump.
