Jack The Ripper continues…

 

He paused for a moment to rest

and thought that in a strange way,

he was executing a test,

his rage was growing high,

as he stared into the sky,

the murder he commited was in fact a destiny,

and still more,

while the victim laid on the floor,

the foundation was made up of solid hatred,

a murder to draw the eyes

and hearts of all men for all time,

he ignored the screams and cries,

then he wondered,

if in this state of madness,

it was the physical symbol of his faith,

killing was his traint,

one that he would face,

leaving behind a trace,

rough remnants that still clung to pure vision,

a vision not quite destroyed,

until he completed the attack,

then he begged for the darkness,

to spread his name, Jack

    It’s interesting how the legend of Jack the Ripper is still with us. The poem captures the fascination well.

    Jack the Ripper…. for he’s a jolly bad fellow who killed a number of prostitutes in London.

    The public, press, and even many junior police officers believed that the Ripper was responsible for nine slayings. The five that are generally accepted as the work of the Ripper are:

    Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888.
    Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888.
    Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888.
    Catharine Eddowes, also murdered that same date.
    Mary Jane (Marie Jeanette) Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.
