Earthen fragment ballot [ostrakismos] cannot be quit      Why? [you/someone/they] ask?

Well     Because those for whom taking the audience seat is not enough

Can change the plot for the lead/main actor on the stage

Because they/themselves      the important, rabble-reigning-over characters’

Explusions and      death sentences too     are determined by the roll of the die/dice

What’s more     even if you/we/they understand later it was a mistake

It is okay to take no responsibility for anything     Because [in] the quotidian/every day/usual/normality

That comes [nuance of word choice: whether we like it or not]      those blokes do just as they are told

Just let us/them [i.e. the voters] do that much      and we’ll call it even

The final judgement is history      or so they [the hotshots] say however

[We’re talking about] us, who after/upon dying, who will be completely/ utterly forgotten

If we don’t experience even pain     we won’t even feel an itch
