We Are The Changelings
We Are The Changelings
A short poem about the Changelings, and their Queen, by UniqueSKD
As Cadence, I've been masquerading,
My Changeling army's outside waiting,
They're waiting for the time to strike,
And for a chance to feed.
I've fooled the ponies with this disguise,
I've won their trust with all my lies,
They'll know their error when it's too late,
And as their bodies bleed.
Flashback to the Hollow where we come from,
I announced my plans to rule this kingdom,
To take away the ponies love,
And live in a castle so grand.
My loyal subjects, as well as I,
Will drain these ponies completely dry,
We'll take and feast on all their love,
And the love of all the land.
Shining Armour, Captain of the Guard,
His spell, a defensive barrier ward,
It keeps my Changelings from entering,
The city of Canterlot
But Twilight Sparkle does not believe,
By my disguise, she's not deceived,
She'll become most problematic indeed,
And so she must be stopped.
Twilight Sparkle now seeks the truth,
The faithful student begins to sleuth,
And so I banish her to the caves,
Where she can spend her remaining days.
Soon that barrier will be gone,
As well as the bringer of the Sun,
And cries of fear shall fill the air,
When my Changelings roam everywhere.
As Cadence, I continue masquerading,
My Changeling army's still there waiting,
They smack their lips in eagerness,
For the chance to feast.
Our hunger, we simply cannot avoid,
We can't ignore the empty void,
It demands to be satisfied and sated,
It cries out like a beast.
Soon the wedding is going to start,
And I've already captured Shining's heart,
He's in my power, he can't resist,
My every wish and whim.
And when the vows have all been said,
Most of these ponies will lose their head,
As Shining's shield begins to weaken,
And lets my Changeling in.
Celestia comes, and takes the stand,
HA! This 'ruler' does not look so grand,
She says, ''If these two should not be wed,
Speak now, or hold your peace.''
And just when I'm about to win,
The real Cadence comes barging in,
''She's an impostor! A Changeling Queen!''
A thousand curses upon that niece!
So Cadence, you escaped the caves,
To stand before me, oh so brave,
But you're too late, your Shining Armor,
Has fallen into a trance.
And already his barrier begins to fall,
And my Changelings soon break through it all,
And they show no mercy as they crush,
All of the resistance.
Shining Armor is now mine,
His love for you tastes just divine,
And i feel its empowering energy,
Strengthening my might.
Celestia steps forth to challenge me,
I won't be beaten so easily!
With a single blast of energy,
I quickly win our fight.
My victory, I feel like celebrating,
For Canterlot is now mine for the taking,
And the cries of fear soon fill the air,
Ponies running, screaming, everywhere.
This day is going to be perfect,
This invasion is going to be worth it,
We'll round up every last pony,
And feed upon their love.
Princess Celestia has been beat,
The Elements of Harmony have met defeat,
And all around this great city,
My Changelings strike from up above.
Soon we will have won this war,
And we shall be hungry no more,
And I shall finally have a palace,
Worthy of a Queen like me.
Still the screaming fills the air,
As ponies flee, from here and there,
Their fear is my utmost amusement,
And truly it fills me with glee.
The Mane Six are all brought before me,
They remain defiant despite my glory,
But soon I'll see that they learn,
A lesson in humility.
Close by, poor little Princess Cadence,
Tries to free her Shining from his trance,
To watch her struggle to no avail,
Almost makes me express pity.
And from the high tower balcony,
I watch as Canterlot succumbs to me,
How i pity these foolish ponies,
So easily did they fall.
My Changelings now begin to feed,
And drain their prey, cause them to bleed,
Now who ever said that a girl,
Can't really have it all?
Then suddenly, from behind me,
Shining snaps back to reality,
My control over him is broken,
By Cadence's undying love.
But it doesn't matter! It's far too late,
To spare everypony their fate,
Outside, my army stalk the streets,
Reinforcements arrive from above.
His power drained, now mine to wield,
Shining tries to rebuild the shield,
But weakened is he from my control,
He no longer has his strength.
When it seems that they are doomed,
Cadence reunites with her beloved groom,
She says, ''My Love will strengthen you!''
What a lovely, but ridiculous sentiment!
But to my horror, their horns ignite,
They glow with a warm, radiant light,
They look into each others eyes,
And release a powerful spell.
And with this blast of energy,
The power of their Love overwhelms me,
And sends my Changelings along with me,
Flying across the sky as well.
Scattered are we, so very far,
A long, long way from Equestria,
My rage, my fury, it has no equal,
How could I have lost it all?!
This day had been going perfectly,
My Changelings were assured victory,
All of Canterlot belonged to me,
Like I had dreamed when I was small!
So be it! They have won this day!
For now, they shall have their way!
But our defeat will be avenged,
And they shall all burn in Hell!
They've won this fight, but not the war,
We invaded their land once before,
Another day, we'll invade again,
And take the WHOLE kingdom as well!
Mark my words, my little ponies,
You have not seen the last of me!
I, Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings,
Will make you rue this day!
We'll return to steal all of your love,
And your screams'll pierce the heavens above,
I'll bleed out each of you bone-dry,
And your suffering will be my pay!
For all shall learn to fear Changelings,
And tremble as our song, we sing,
One day we'll conquer, near and far,
Starting with EQUESTRIA!
(Queen Chrysalis, you are so cruel,
Your heart, blacker than Luna's darkest night,
The weaver of lies, a mistress of disguise,
The ultimate spy hiding within plain sight!)
We are the Changelings,
And my army's outside waiting,
For Shining Armor's shield to fall.
And indeed, it shall fall!
We are the Changelings,
Our chitin armor black as night,
And through sheer might, we'll conquer all
And we shall conquer all!
And one day I'll make these ponies squeal,
And before my presence, I'll make them kneel,
And my Changelings will turn to me, and plead,
And I'll raise my holed hoof and order, ''GO! FEED!''

I'm so jealous of those who can write poetry. Nice job.
Wow nice, maybe that will get some attention and you will make song from this ;p

You've nothing to be jealous about. You are a great poet, and I don't even need to know you to make that statement.
A poem is more than just a bunch of fancy words strung together and such. A poem that you put effort into is special no matter how popular or how judged it gets.
I just write poetry on this site because I wasn't that good at writing decent stories, so you could take comfort in knowing that I'd be jealous of you being able to write a good story.

I DID have this as a song. Follow the link in the description, and you can see the WIP video I did. I never finished the project because I couldn't get anyone to do the chorus parts i had made. Not that it matters now, because my song can serve another purpose as a poem here on this site.
Oh, and when or if you listen to the video, that IS me singing. I used some editing tools to make my voice sound more...Changeling-like.
I'm not really into poetry, but I like the idea of this one.
...Even if the idea of emo Chrysalis, lounging on her throne and writing sad poetry about her defeat is oddly hilarious.
Anyway, liked and faved.

I am a Changeling, and my body is colored black.
Nobody loves me, and so I don't love them back.
I see those ponies walk by dressed in fancy clothes.
Their snobbish talk makes me want to punch them in the nose
XD

Every time I succeed in making somebody laugh, the world becomes a little more of a better place, and scientists get one step closer to harnessing the power of Chuck Norris' tears to cure Cancer.
Of course they have to get him to cry first...

I'm glad to hear that... but watch this!
Actually his stunt-double, but still...

Awesome poem! I loved Chrysalis's cocky voice, and then her vengeful resentment at the end. Always up for a good retelling of an episode.
Like and fave.

YAY!
Also, congratulations for continuing the Severed Roots story! Your latest chapter was hilarious regarding Granny Smith, and I'm dying to see Turner appearing in Manehatten again.
I'm hoping to see more of Card Slinger soon. While he is cruel and malicious, it is only because of what Madhoof did to him, and as you have shown in previous chapters, h isn't entirely evil himself. He could have shot Babs back in Appleloosa, but he didn't, choosing to spare her as she had him. And that he cried over the death of his loyal friend shows he still has some humanity in him (or should that be pony-anity?), so I think he's worthy of redemption towards the end, though i don't see him surviving.
With Card Slinger, I imagine his only outcome is death, but he can die in a way that absolves his sins. For example, he could die trying to take down Madhoof just before he is about to kill Babs, or better still, Applebloom, since he'd know how devastating it would be to make her watch her beloved mare die right in front of her. Additionally, Card Slinger's death, if you choose to kill him that is, wouldn't be entirely a sad one, since he'd be able to unite with his parents again, and his friend who died in Appleloosa. (god damn it what was his name?!?
Madhoof, on the other hoof (lol), there's just no fucking way you can let him live, Bad_Seed_72. There's just no way. If they arrest him, he'd still make everyone's life a misery, he'd still be able to co-ordinate his operations from within a prison cell. And if he ever broke free, all of the other characters would be back to square one, and end up witnessing friends and families die and suffer all over again.
But while I believe that Madhoof needs to die, it is who exactly should kill him that i'm struggling to decide over. Babs would have more reason to kill him in a way, but the same can be said for every other character who suffered at his cruelty. Card Slinger had some opportunities to take him down, so i think he already blew his chance, though he could still maybe assist in killing him, like injuring him with a shot or something. Then there's Turner, who knows that Madhoof was still cruel and heartless in his youth. But could Turner really bring himself to kill his own brother? He'd contemplate that doing so would make him no better than the bastard, which could lead to him being merciful and sparing Madhoof's life, only for him to attack Turner when he turns his back.
Could Turner kill Madhoof if he tried to threaten his daughter's life, then?
You're in control of the story, obviously because you're writing it, but at this point there are SO many ways in which the story could end once we cross that metaphorical bridge, that I simply can't contain my excitement for what surprises you might try to throw our way.
I hope to see the next chapter soon. But do not rush it! Your work is at its greatest potential when you think it through and take the time to plan it out.

Hehe, wow! Thanks for the comment!
(Wasn't expecting to see it here, lol. 
)
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and hope you enjoy the remainder!
Boone.
Interesting thoughts and analysis here. I hope you do enjoy what I have planned and that it proves to be an awesome conclusion to the series!
And you are exactly right... rushing is never good. I took my sweet time with this last chapter (
), a little too much, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
Thanks again and keep on being awesome!
When I saw the title and read the description of this almost being a song, I thought it would be a parody on the song "We are the Champions."
You could do it. Or not.
I'm glad I was proven wrong. Though that would be an interesting version of the song...
Half-way through, I half-expected you to hint at, or show that, Chrysalis feels bad about what she's doing, harming innocents where peace may have been possible.
4857293 I actually DID do a short song using this poem of mine. You can find it on my YouTube channel. I wanted to sing more of it, but I never could find someone to do the instrumentals for the song so I abandoned the project.
Shame. I worked very hard on getting the right sort of voice. Sigh.
4857308 you sure?????????????
5394908 Yes I'm pretty sure I half-expected that.
Capitalize that I. In any case nice... Though some verses don't rhyme so much but I guess poetry isn't all about rhyming.
