Jack The Ripper
/When misfortune strikes
And people are in angst,
Their leaders perplexed,
The economy in shambles,
Life as we know it, crambled.
Then, the opportunists smile.
For when it’s night on this half,
It’s day on the other,
A bright one as a matter of fact.
Just like Jack the Ripper,
They rip the souls out of our communities,
Rip the souls outta our pockets,
Rip the souls outta our dreams and hopes,
Leaving only but a destitute husk.
Jack the Ripper smiles all the way to the bank,
Cloaked as Jack of all trades,
But we all know, Jack is not only dull
But also a greedy, cunning, sanctimonious little bitch!
When Jack knocks on your door,
And you open coz he slipped a cursed greenback under your door,
You should start mourning.
He’s not only stealing your present, but your future too
And the powers to kick him out.
Even so, the earth is always spinning
At some point it will be day on our half
The sun will smile upon us,
And we will smile back
We will flourish, flowers will bloom…
Unless of course, Jack has found a way to preclude the earth from spinning.
He’s been so deeply entrenched in our system such that there’ll be no ripping him out without it ripping us apart.
