Welcome to the Body Farm Where cadavers come to play Forcing us to see the charm In their stark, macabre display Where cadavers come to play As they slowly decompose In their stark, macabre display While we watch their bones transpose As they slowly decompose They reveal our destiny While we watch their bones transpose Documenting what we see They reveal our destiny Though we may not want to look We document what we see Within every field and nook Though we may not want to look They force us to see the charm Within every field and nook Welcome to the Body Farm
The Body Farm, also known as the Forensic Anthropology Center, helps train forensic students in the natural decomposition of human bodies. If you’ve never heard of it, I highly recommend clicking the link above! Just be warned- it isn’t for the faint of heart.
