Rainbow Factory - A Poem

By dashie76

Although I did not write the original Rainbow Factory, the plot of this poem is my own.





It's finally happened.  We're over.  We're done.
The Factory's workers have stolen the sun.
They riled up their unicorns yesterday
and stole the celestial body away

They have broken out comrades locked under key
And rallied up several outlawed refugees
They've gathered an army.  They've started a war
They've slaughtered nine thousand.  They're spreading the gore

They came, of course, to me to ask
If I would join their horrible task
I said that I had reformed, which was true
And when they attacked, away I flew

I saw the wrongdoing of my ways
But still, the age-old guilt remains
That I was once leading the Factory
Was causing this sort of catastrophe

Celestia is done, she is captured, you see
They're planning to execute her publicly
In front of all of the ponies to grieve
And watch their beloved princess leave

They stormed Canterlot with a battle cry-
"Long live the Factory!  All shall die!
No parent or child remains alive!
A new age is coming!  The time is nigh!

Canterolt falls to our supremacy!
And we'll make a new Rainbow Factory!
But this one will be on a larger scale!
And all of Equestria to us will hail!"

They plan to convert the great city
Into a new Rainbow Factory
And spread sinful rainbows across the land
I cannot allow it.  But I have a plan

Five friends of mine very close to my heart
I brought together and we're going to start
The biggest rebellion that we've ever had
We might not make it.  And though it'd be sad

As long as we get the job done together
And save our land Equestria forever
As long as I get my chance to repent

We can die in peace, and I'll be content.
