Bughuul Man


He’s the devil in your tormented dreams
The shadowy, nightmarish silhouette imp
of a thousand horror newscast,
who muzzles your petrified screams
Keeping those silent eyes
glued to the vile, video killing screen
Black Plague monstrosity figurine
showing you a million different exits
from the corporeal plane
Bungee craze got started by the Bughuul Man
His roulette wheel spinning 
is daresay snake oil squeaking Russian
Walking the fine line between barely living and dying
is an aerial tightrope 
painfully designed by this venal master of suffering
Enamel-coated Ebonics
spastically say he sho’ nuff 
be the Bogeyman
Wearing a spook face colored cotton
He’s the white lightening flashing
in your blackest dream
Cast down from heaven,
the prince of this world is a terror king
His empty empathy sockets
got a madness, murderous gleam

Bughuul Man,
Bughuul Man
Blowing gunsmoke holes 
in your irregular brain stem seams
Busting caps in your comfort zone gap
between your eardrum beams

Bughuul Man,
Bughuul Man
This jinn-cursed malevolent being,
with the trident-shaped, hot cattle prod poking 
Is the tainted sleep trickster,
whose been given a certified imaginary rating
