The March

The March

Heels clicking on

Cobbled streets

Women chattering

Tempo quickening

Excitement rising

Feet now pounding

Pounding on cobbles

Joining the March

Columns forming

Purple White Green

Chains clinking

Voices merging

Columns snaking

Purple White Green

Votes for Women

The Banners read

United Voices

Fill the air

Tempo quickening

Feet now stamping

Banners flying

Arms aloft

United voices

Ring out clear

Give us the Vote!

We want the Vote!

Glass breaking

Chains clinking

Chanting Louder

Louder

Whistles blowing

Feet now scattering

Vehicles honking

Women screaming

Men shouting

Tyres squealing

Doors slamming

Women weeping

Silently

Weeping

Defiant murmurs

Be strong

Don’t give in

Men shouting

Women struggling

Gasping

Choking

Women Suffering

Defiantly Suffering

DEEDS

NOT JUST WORDS

Keys jangling

Locks clicking

Doors opening

Knowledge dawns

Women sobbing

Relief reviving

Dazzled blinking

Strength returning

Walking slowly

Out the doors
