The Shot Heard Around The Country
Mr. Booth sneaked to the box
Clutching the pistol in his hand
As he had the psychotic intention
Nobody could ever command
He was a popular actor
Well known on the stage
However, behind the curtain
He had a deep rage
At last, he arrived
And faced his victim
One deadly shot
Could change the system
Mr. Booth points the gun
At the back of Lincoln’s head
And with one last look
Shot the president dead
Mr. Booth then leapt to the stage
Fulfilling all of the prophecies
And with a final look in the public eye
He shouted “Sic semper tyrannis!”
