Boo Land

In Boo Land ... Every gagged mouth is covered by a grave reeker hand Raven black-cloaked, vomit foul specter maniacally sob laughing Someone’s been tilting the tomb bottles again, tipping thru the Pet Sematary growling Inflicting fear is the feral joy of the frightening Scream suffering is the howl pleasure of the torture pain Boo Land, welcome woe where random killing is a sure thing Enter his morbid world, if you dare ... cross the sanity threshold, if you’re not scared Boo Land is an ostrich step out of the front door Another gun murder that’s not background check paid for Fear is the underworld coin of this casket realm It buys a lot of living dead qualms about zombie parrot pirates perched at the helm Scoundrel squawks with a 9mm trigger beak Green paper caws with a burial holster lease In Boo Land is where many a scared souls are morgue laid Loan shark’s bullet teeth shred the pound of flesh not vig paid Violent crime victims don’t get timely first aid Body spare organs are taken from the gene pool water, to a black market with a dirty dollar $ign color Frankie clones in the making ... it’s a steal bolt buy order In Boo Land is where many a scared souls are coroner silenced Feminine intimate violations are off the haunted frat house charts Bad boy wolves ravishing the little miss piglets Misogyny grope temptation, smear threats plays a finger tool part Licentious desires are an inappropriate side bet It’s the same ole heinous, privilege skin crimes, committed in dim hallowed hall shadows Canines getting-out-of-jail-free too many times Another lusty boo-boo is landfill covered So the boy cried wolf when the public spotlight blare came, and the news splattered his foster name Everyone said it was a small-town shame, that a serial breath-taker said mommy issues was to blame In Boo Land, creeping fear stealthily walks upright The fox in the dressy suit wanna sweet baby talk, and coo take you to the crypt crib at night Don’t be afraid to Holler Loud ... or put up a fight, if you think they got you in their kill shot sight
