Assassination Conspiracy....Haiku Poem by elysabeth faslund

President Lincoln...
Was Booth the only killer?
What about Stanton?

A conspiracy?
Five bridges out the city.
Only four guarded.


Note: Lincoln and Stanton, from
the records, never got along...
although Stanton was Lincoln's
Secretary of War. The night this
President was shot, there were no
guards for the Presidential box
at Ford's Theater. Five roads led
out of the Capital City...four were
guarded. Booth rode out on the only
road not guarded. Stanton could
have been the instigator of this
President's assassination.
