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!”
