An Investigation
By Noah Cicero


Bearing the Cross in low rider jeans
 

Weary and worn, the Heavenly King
  

Our mother America came to bless
 

Through our land went wandering
 

Behold
 

She deigned to appear for a moment to The People, the voters and non-voters those on drugs and those not on drugs those who have jobs and those who do not have jobs those who have bank accounts and those who get calls from creditors those who think 1000 dollars is a lot of money and those who think 100,000 is poverty.
 

The Tortured
 

Suffering People
 

Sunk in stupidity

Loving Isabella's pussy like children.  

My story is laid in America, in Youngstown
 

In the most terrible time of the Bush Years
 

When fires were lighted every day to the glory of God, stupidity mammon anti-humanity war
  

And in the splendid park the wicked heretics were burnt.
 

Oh

No
 

She visited HER children only for a moment
 

THERE WERE FLAMES CRACKLING ROUND THE HERETICS 

THERE WERE FLAMES CRACKLING ROUND THE HERETICS 


THERE WERE FLAMES CRACKLING ROUND THE HERETICS 


THERE WERE FLAMES CRACKLING ROUND THE HERETICS 


THERE WERE FLAMES CRACKLING ROUND THE HERETICS
 

In Isabella's pussy infinite mercy
 

She orgasmed softly 

Unobserved 


Yet, strange to say, everyone was high off crack did not care and it all meant nothing and the news was on-so was cartoons and a hammer slammed down 


A man yells, “O Lord, heal me and I shall see Thee!”  


Instead of healing him she punches him in the penis 


His penis is broke now she doesn't give a speech she does not speak 


THE DEAD CHILD LIES HIDDEN IN THE FLOWERS 


Isabella goes over to the THE DEAD CHILD LIES HIDDEN IN THE FLOWERS she puts her pussy lips up to THE DEAD CHILD LIES HIDDEN IN THE FLOWERS he opens his eyes he is revived he lives again his penis is erect and it means nothing nothingness a long hard penis Isabella puts it in her ass and pumps THE DEAD CHILD LIES HIDDEN IN THE FLOWERS penis it gives him magic powers he goes to a different universe where people sit and don't talk and when you order food at a restaurant you always get exactly what you ordered life is perfect everything is ordered we don't have bodies there are no objects time doesn't exist it is always now the now you want it to be over and over again for eternity it is always spring with rain on your face fucking your sister in the ass while your dad is drunk on the porch listening to an old George Jones album
 

Weeping mother enjoys watching The Young and The Restless while thinking of things to do to get her man to beat her kids run around the yard shoeless throwing rocks at other children everyone is crying and getting molested it is absolutely American Norman Mailer
 

There are cries
 

sobs
 

confusion among the people
 

So completely are the people COWED INTO SUBMISSION AND TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
 

COWED INTO SUBMISSION AND TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
  

COWED INTO SUBMISSION AND TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
  

COWED INTO SUBMISSION AND TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
 

TREMBLING OBEDIENCE

SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION AND TREMBLING
 

TREMBLING
 

COWED
 

INTO TREMBLING
 

OBEDIENCE
 

COWED INTO SUBMISSION
 

AND
  

TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
 

TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
 

TREMBLING OBEDIENCE
 

COWED INTO SUBMISSION
 

INTO SUBMISSION
 

The crowd instantly bows down to the earth
 

Isabella blesses the people in silence and passes on
 

Is it simply a wild fantasy
 

Or a mistake
 

Isabella sits naked on a wooden chair
 

The Man is across from her white WASP POWER THE GUN
 

All has been given by Thee to The Pope

Thou wast on earth
 

"I will make you free"
 

For fifteen centuries we have been wrestling with Thy freedom
 

Dost Thou not believe that it's over for good?
  

But let me tell Thee that now
 

Today
  

People are more persuaded than ever that they have perfect freedom
 

Yet they have brought their freedom to us and laid it humbly at our feet
 

Was this Thy freedom?'"  

That at last they have vanquished freedom
 

And
  

Have done so
 

TO MAKE MEN HAPPY
 

For now
 

(he is speaking of terrorism, of course)
  

For the first time it has become possible to think of the happiness of men
 

Man was created a rebel
 

If you refuse and rebel

YOU SHALL BE DEVOURED BY THE SWORD
 

If you refuse and rebel
 

YOU SHALL BE DEVOURED BY THE SWORD
 

If you refuse and rebel
 

YOU SHALL BE DEVOURED BY THE SWORD
 

If you refuse and rebel
 

YOU SHALL BE DEVOURED BY THE SWORD
 

How can rebels be happy
  

The spirit of self-destruction
 

And
 

Non-existence
 

The Man goes on
 

You were "tempted"
 

Is that so?
 

Thou didst reject, and what in the books is called "the temptation"?
  

With some promise of freedom
 

Which men in their simplicity and their natural unruliness
 

Cannot even understand

They fear and dread
 

FOR NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN MORE INSUPPORTABLE FOR A MAN AND A HUMAN SOCIETY THAN FREEDOM
  

FOR NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN MORE INSUPPORTABLE FOR A MAN AND A HUMAN SOCIETY THAN FREEDOM
 

FOR NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN MORE INSUPPORTABLE FOR A MAN AND A HUMAN SOCIETY THAN FREEDOM
 

INSUPPORTABLE
 

MAN

HUMAN SOCIETY
 

NOTHING
 

FREEDOM
 

Parched and barren wilderness
  

Obedience is bought with bread
 

Humanity will proclaim by the lips of their sages that there is no crime
 

no crime

And therefore no sin

There is only hunger
 

Where Thy World Trade Centers stood will rise a new building
 

A thousand years of agony with their towers.
 

No science will give them bread so long as they remain free
 

In the end
 

In the end
  

In the end
 

THEY WILL LAY THEIR FREEDOM AT OUR FEET 

THEY WILL LAY THEIR FREEDOM AT OUR FEET 


THEY WILL LAY THEIR FREEDOM AT OUR FEET 


And say to us 


MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US”  

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US”
 

They will be convinced 


That they can never be free  


MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

For they are weak 


Vicious 


Worthless 


Rebellious 


MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

“MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US”
 

They will marvel at us 


Look on us as gods 


Because we are ready  


To endure  


Freedom  


MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

Which they have found dreadful 


So awful it seems to them to be free  


Pitiful creatures 


Are  


Concerned not only to find what one or the other can worship 


For the sake of common worship they've slain each other with the sword 


They have set up gods and challenged one another 


MAKE US YOUR SLAVES BUT FEED US” 

When gods disappear from the earth  


They will fall down before idols just the same 


Secret of human nature
