“Jack the Ripper”

by

-

This dark cloudless night

Will bring fright

To those who fear

The unknown

-

A legend insists

About a figure cloaked in mist

It strides by leaving behind mystery

Soon, it will make history

-

In the alleyway

The legends say

A woman who meets her demise

By a man in disguise

-

She’s slouched over

Smoking her last cigarette

Without one last regret

-

Slowly

He approaches her with a voice

So soft and persuading

She has a choice

And he's waiting

-

The prostitute nods and grins

Thinking she had won

His eyes gleamed

Suddenly she screamed

-

A knife had plunged her heart

With such brutal art.
