Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Coincidence

The life of Lincoln saved by Booth!
If truth, there must be something more.
John Wilkes killed Abraham - that's truth.
New Jersey in the Civil War.
Two men at a train station met.
Booth was heading south, Lincoln north.
They encountered as fate did set.
On the platform, Lincoln fell forth
In front of an oncoming train.
A hand reached out and pulled him back.
Booth did save Lincoln - truth was plain.
Not John nor Abe were at that track.

Relatives of history done,
Edwin, brother, and Robert, son.
