wipe all slates clean and bury the past
cremate matrixed effigies down to the last
put petrol to paper and shred all the proof
delete all the files that burden the truth
electrify brains with a pulse to negate
terminate programmes before it’s too late
forgive us our sins in biblical quotes
forget all our actions but never your votes
a like with a cross is all that we need
we’ll write a new future just as we’ve agreed
on pamphlets provided to clarify years
prophetic tissue to dry up your tears
spoilt paper lies in recycle bin
trespasses tempered by just throwing in
but never forgotten all that they said
nor history rewritten although papers dead
canvassing conscience, memories last
past actions determine results of votes cast
