...........The Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy Poem by elysabeth faslund

Mary Todd Lincoln
Suggested Ford's Theater
That fateful evening.

After Lincoln's death,
Stanton assumed leadership.
And... Andrew Johnson?

The Naval Bridge guard
Chose to pass Wilkes Booth across...
One hour past curfew.

Doctor Mudd knew Booth.
Dinner and conversations.
Written messages.

Wilkes was an actor.
But, not better than Stanton.
Garrett's Farm the stage.

Kill the assassin.
Law of all conspiracies.
No way could Wilkes live.

Fifty pages gone
From John Wilkes Booth's diary.
What was written there?
