The Modern Ripper Poem by John Powers

The Modern Ripper



i can see you
every day
with the sun
on your skin

lucky to get
a smile
typical
casual
denial

i was no beast
i was no beast
i was no beast
until you made
me one

now they call me
jack
jack
jack
the ripper

i can see you
every day
with the sun
on your skin

got to get
along
don't look
just listen
to the song

i meant you no harm
i meant you no harm
i meant you no harm
but you kept
saying no

now they call me
jack
jack
jack
the ripper

i can see you
every day
with the sun
on your skin

GOD did this
to me, to you
made you beautiful
and said
not to look

i only wanted love
i only wanted love
i only wanted love
but your eyes
kept saying no

now they call me
jack
jack
jack
the ripper

i can see you
every day
with the sun
shining in

you can't deny
me anymore
the truth does hurt
just keep silent
take it
through the fog
under street lights
you can't deny
me anymore
the truth does hurt
take it
rip it!
rip it!
rip it!

now they call me
jack the ripper
