In the dissection of and the sawing of bone, I've coaxed confessions from the lips of the dead, Postmortem scrutiny has clinically shone, The horrifying facts that would never been said... Unbosoming their secrets in the sickening results of their demise, Stomaching wretched human riddles, I carve, hack and slice, Illuminating the dusty skeletons that in closets, and entrails, Enduring the ghastly visage of violent death in my forensic travails... Whether in pieces or decomposed, I asses with clinical indifference, The of a life which grisly circumstance has brought to this office, Ensuring that truth 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 stock in trade, To what remains of a life, painstaking effort will have to be made, At times both 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, death's mysteries with my forceps, tweezers and saw, Wringing from a fibula, fossa or jaw... Recording confessions that are uttered making a sound, From informants long dead I've culled 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 its resting place... Within the bowels of a horribly mutilated corpse or a splattered brain, Picking apart and deceit til only the cold remain, Dead men will tell tales if you know how to listen and learn, Even when been stabbed, beaten, shot, hacked up and burned... This morbid quest for is not without its rewards, Much can be extrapolated from a infants gourd, My bureau's a slab, my text is a corpse, and I've studied with sincere, ardent fervor, And found often man's inhumanity to man is all to deserved...
