Suffragettes poem

You were beyond the pale, or so they used to say,
yes you, you who campaigned for change,
but when others tried to derail you, and slander your names,
Emmeline Pankhurst,
Emily Wilding Davison and many others,
you fought for equal rights and equality,
and bravely and courageously,
you stood strong you suffragettes,
and whilst many belittled your names,
you put your lives on the line,
and Emily Wilding Davison,
you threw yourself under a horse,
and you died for your cause,
you died for your cause in such a spectacular way,
yes, a spectacular way, but thanks to you,
thanks to you, the world has changed forever,
and for the better,
and we are more than grateful,
of the sacrifices that you have made.
