Suffering Avenged (Original & Revised)

(ORIGINAL)

Oh, how easy it is to fall back into the
evil ways of my youth, to eat and drink

every terrible moment of suffering will be
avenged in the tables being turned on
every boring person

our brains kept falling out in the attempt to
hide the high degree of frustration we
were subjected to…

Dumped unimaginatively on every boring
person we were constrained to listen to –
even when our brains fell out of our heads
in attempts to hide high degrees of frustration
we were subjected to…
