when we set the clocks ahead four years.

We who lost a lot of sleep aboard the anti-don bus

can now discard our busted hopes and fears.

Waking up the next morn, we’ll remember not the nightmare

which infected months, weeks, days and hours,

casting off the subterfuge and lies so bold and bare,

deliberate misuse of his great powers.

Perhaps when time jumps forward, we’ll restore the reputation

of our country, which was once held in esteem.

Perhaps to his victims we can offer reparation,

and put ourselves back on track for the dream.
