Our Mail Mare

A pony that we all learned to love

Has faced judgment from above

They said she was a disgrace

Solely due to her face

 

                                                                They believe everything needs to be in line

                                                                Or it’s an insult to mankind

                                                                We adopted her as our mare

                                                                But some people didn’t  care

 

                ‘It’s insulting’ those people said

                ‘We would rather her be dead’

                We knew we had to unite

                We wouldn’t lose without a fight

                                                                                                                                ‘Red, yellow, black and white

                                                                                                                                We are precious in His sight’

                                                                                                                                No longer had a meaning

                                                                                                                                The truth they just weren’t seeing

She was taken from us at last

Removed her name from the cast

Of the show we all favored

Our efforts had been waivered

                                                                               

                                                Derpy wasn’t just a pony with a strange eye

                                                She was our mail mare who could fly

                                                She represented that we are all the same:

                                                Humans, just with different names

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wrote a quick poem about a pony named Derpy Hooves who was changed due to a few people believing that My Little Pony was making fun of mentally disabled children.
