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