An Investigation

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

Bread
