Behind the Scenes of Justice
We all know the cops
The ones that we look up to
The ones who are
our heroes
our saviors
our proverbial
knights in shining armor
but what of the others
the ones that work
behind the scenes
to find those
who kill
what they are
so that the cops
can bring them
to justice
these
are just
a few of them
the forensic psychologist
he who can
reach into
the minds
of those criminals
and find the
motive and strike pattern
the computer analyst
they that scour
cyberspace for a
digital fingerprint
the forensic chemist
those who use
what is found
at the scene
and use it
to find suspects
the forensic pathologist
this is the
guy who cuts
open the victim
and finds the
cause and hour
of death
and last
but not least
the ballistics expert
they compile information
obtained at the
crime scene
along with date
organized by the team
to find the weapon
that killed the victim
and use it
to find
the owner of
that weapon
these are the
unsung heroes of
the justice world
remember them
as you praise
that
cop
ex umbris eruditio
learning out of the shadows
