I am Jack

“I remember many years ago I used to be very poetic. It all started when one day, I was gripped by the allure of the horrid and the grotesque. Very unusual you must be thinking. Although the ripper is the subject, yet these few lines create a very dramatic picture of his persona. Let me know what you think.”

I am Jack, I’ll be back.
In the dead of the night,
I’ll slit you throat,
I’ll cut you right


I am jack, I’ll be back
when the dogs don’t bark but cry.
I’ll find you even in the pitch black lanes,
so be sure you have to die.


I am Jack, I’ll be back
when the moon shines full in the sky.
You can run, you can hide to save yourself
but you wont reach home alive.


I am Jack, I’ll be back
in the lanes behind the square
I’ll stab you deep, I’ll slash you right
I’ll kill you then and there.
