JACK
Three Finger Jack ~ The Spirit of Jamaica by J.A.C.K.
At nine years old, I wanted to know Jack
I was well into swashbuckling and pirate movies we were fed in the time and Robin Hood story was one of my favorites {still a watch dem}
I loved the bravery they portrayed of the hero in those movies.  They seemed above everyone with integrity
I believe the initials of my name tied me to this Jamaican icon.  His ultimate fight for freedom was / is inspiring considering the fact that he lived some time back in 1770s -1780s... Not a time for respect for black skin
He fought alone.  He did not need a gang or a group.  He fought alone
His sense of courage, integrity and morality attracted me to him
He was courageous, intelligent, playful and loving.  That is my feel of him
Enslavement was not a part of his plan
A free soul
A brave soul
This story I wrote is a fictional, fantastical story of how I viewed Jack from my youth to this very current day mixed in with some of my own life experiences
For whatever reason, Jack's story gets told in many places by many different people
It is like he cannot be conquered
Ever
He is on Amazon if you wish to contribute
