The study of criminal physiognomy
Is a noble pursuit, it's said,
For it seeks to understand
The features of the criminal man,
And from this knowledge, justice gains
A tool to better apprehend
The lawless and the malevolent,
To keep our streets and homes safe from harm.
By studying the face and form
Of those who've proven themselves untamed,
We gain insight into the mind
That drives their deeds, and thus may find
A way to better understand
The motivations of the criminal,
And with this knowledge, better thwart
Their plans and keep the peace throughout.
So let us celebrate the art
Of criminal physiognomy,
And praise the scientists who've honed
This discipline, and through it shown
The value of this noble field,
In helping us to understand
The workings of the criminal mind,
And thus to keep our world more kind.
