Anabolic steroid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolic_steroid

Oh glorious injection,
Placed deep in buttock cheek
Flesh now worthy of inspection,
Once was flabbily weak
Banished are the muscle pains,
Accursed, that wracked a spindly man
Dreadful feeble fate avoided,
The body freed from mortal chains,
Its divine sinew nicely tan,
Praises God for being roided!

BAE Systems

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems

War
begins,
ending life,
leaving futures,
sadly unanswered.
Do the dead still suffer?
Terror and pain may end.
Far worse is the uncertainty
of a life story left unfinished,
a book slammed shut in the early chapters.

Prince's Palace of Monaco

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince%27s_Palace_of_Monaco

Party at the microstate tonight
Everyone's going to be there
Very exclusive invite
from the son of Prince Rainier

Hope you like to gamble
sip the finest wine
hear dignitaries ramble
about Monaco's royal line

No need to write down
an address so easy to recall
It's the only palace in town
Where else would they hold the ball?

Husband, father, anchorman
On the air five days a week
Described the world in a brief span
but now we cannot hear him speak

Manzanar

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzanar

I watched a girl from afar
at morning every day
in Manzanar, in Manzanar
and loved her graceful way

She wandered far
with her feet bare
in Manzanar, in Manzanar
and I followed her to stare

We only let her get so far
not too apart from her parents
in Manzanar, in Manzanar
and I watched as I patrolled the fence

I wish we had gone far
that I freed her from that place
from Manzanar, from Manzanar
where I came to know her face

In my life that time is far
but what remains hard
is that in Manzanar, in Manzanar
to her I was just a guard

Ocean sunfish

Mola Mola is the name
Of the world's largest fish
Looking at its
Ass I find myself a-
Mazed that
Out there exists a fish so
Large its head is its
Ass

Vasa (ship)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_%28ship%29

Feel like loser? Think you failed?
Here's something to cheer ya.
I know of a ship that briefly sailed,
A stupid ship called Vasa.

Brilliant Gustavus, Swedish King,
thought "A ship would be just the trick
to crush Poland in our thirty-year kerfuffle thing"
and he ordered Vasa built ASAP and super-quick.

Of course the key in any war,
is to load your ship up with bling.
so Gus ordered Vasa painted like a whore,
and weighed with sculptures to stop it from maneuvering.

Finally at huge expense,
Vasa was ready, sail on mast.
Thousands gathered for the grandest of events,
cheering loudly and not thinking of ballast.

The ship pushed out from the Stockholm dock
on a beautiful summer day.
A fresh breeze made Vasa sway and rock,
as it crossed the Swedish bay.

Vasa made it about a mile;
its maiden launch seemed fine,
but the gun ports for all this while
were below the water line.

Though Vasa was close to land,
thirty people died, maybe more.
Despite all the boats close at hand,
that came to aid the ship sinking by the shore.

So next time you think you failed,
just think of Vasa and the royal clod,
that after rushing a crappy ship
called it sinking an act of God.

Thierry Henry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Henry

A human sea forms,
and crashing voices roar
Thierry for Arsenal!
Life waits for them at morning,
by desk or oiled machine.
Now though is Thierry,
cheers and the green field.
Beneath the stadium halo
Thierry gives them conquest.
People flow home with the gift,
hugged tight to jubilant chests.
At morning Thierry's win goes to work,
commuter carried
by briefcase and purse
letting them remain Thierry,
winning on the green field.

Look, Democracy has an appendix!
At least mine doesn't wave.

Reactive attachment disorder

Baby,
Either you don't say a word,
Or you say too much.
Give me some peace and quiet
Or please for the love of God,
Talk to papa.

Emma Goldman

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman

Can't blame Emma for rejecting domestic life
Baking bread, popping kids
Playing Stepford Wife
She ran and could'a hid
But that's not what she did

Emma spoke to the workers about rights
Tried to organize anarchy
Get Carnegie's peons to fight
Not all were keen on breaking free
They were slaves by choice in democracy

Did Emma fail?
She didn't succeed
Capitalism certainly did prevail
All anyone can do is try to lead
And leave books behind for the kiddies to read

Cannibal Holocaust

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibal_Holocaust

Don't start
Whether animals died for ego or art
Isn't the issue

The film is bloody
Seven animals died in the shooting spree
But I eat burgers

This makes me a bad person
Those cows might as well be in horror fiction
So commenting would be hypocritical
