they stormed the Bastille
monument of unspeakable horrors
torture and death
for the gunpowder
to fight the Royal army
A loaf of bread cost a month's wages
'He with the empty stomach complains loudest'
they marched to Versailles,
the fishwives
these women worked hard every day
and they were out for blood
pitchforks muskets
and longknives
Louis was moved to Paris and
becames it's prisoner
