    • Nice work Navina.

      It was a dreadful act but so was the response.America has changed much since then and not for the better.

      I hope one day the good American,the kind American,the compassionate American,the generous, welcoming American will triumph over the greedy, selfish egomaniacs that currently run the show…..but I doubt it.
      🙏

    • I remember the day well. I lost two friends in it, both fireman. Everyone knew someone who died and many lost their faith that day. This is an excellently written poem.

      ” Fallen angels are made,not born.

    • “The jewes are the people that will not be blamed for nothing.” There was a lot of prejudice against jews in Whitechapel and the entire east end in 1888. I knew what this was about as soon as I saw the title. He left a leather apron behind after one of the killings. Possible Annie Chapman, not sure. Mary Kelly got it the worst, he had plenty of time with her. Excellent poem with great rhymes . I’m glad I read this.

    • Thanks for commenting..I’m glad you stumbled across it..and seems like you have a lot of knowledge about the history of this..I actually want to dive deeper and learn more..I never knew all this stuff..and how many victims there were..
