In the dissection of flesh and the sawing of bone, coaxed confessions from the lips of the dead, scrutiny that has clinically shone, The horrifying facts that have never been said... Unbosoming their secrets in the sickening results of demise, Stomaching these wretched human riddles, I carve, hack and slice, Illuminating the dusty skeletons that in closets, bones and entrails, the ghastly visage of violent death in my forensic travails... in pieces or completely decomposed, I asses with clinical indifference, The remnants of a life which circumstance has brought to this office, that truth shall endure after the flesh has and rotted away, Elucidating atrocities and carnage, the thankless job I perform day after day... Persistent that cut to the quick are my in trade, To scrutinize what remains of a life, painstaking effort will have to be made, At times evidence and flesh are encrypted and shred, It can be murder to pry answers from the mouths of the dead... A gutted torso can pose a bevy of answerless to deliberate, Probing with a scalpel, I expose the cavity that I now must eviscerate, Unlocking mysteries with my forceps, tweezers and saw, Wringing revelations from a fibula, fossa or jaw... confessions are uttered without making a sound, From informants long dead that I've from the ground, Beneath the pallid veil of cold flesh or enshrouded in the shredded of a face, Exhuming the truth is my occupation, no matter how decrepit its resting place... Within the of a mutilated corpse or a splattered brain, Picking apart flesh and deceit til only the cold facts remain, Dead men tell tales if you know how to listen and learn, Even they've been stabbed, beaten, shot, hacked up and burned... This morbid for knowledge is not without its rewards, Much can be extrapolated a decrepit infants gourd, My bureau's a slab, my text is a corpse, and I've studied with sincere, ardent fervor, And that man's inhumanity to man is all to well deserved...
