Booth (Final Curtain)

Booth. How you hated the Union.
The end of suffrage you so despised.
One in the brain of the great orator.
Death in the theatre.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Great poem. Check out this anagram, Daniel; 'The assasination of president Abraham Lincoln' becomes... 'A pistol in an actor's rebel hands; a fine man is shot' (John Wilkes-Booth was an actor on broadway for a time)
