Earth Ponies [Poem]

Down trodden;
Under hoof;

From the Earth;
We are birthed;

All night, all day;
Our ponies slave away;

We work the soil; plough the land;
Give it life; make it grand;

Out strength is unrivalled;

Steady as a rock;

You watch us work;
Only stop to mock;

You think us weak;
You point;
You laugh;

And then they fly away;
And leave us on this summer’s day;

But then come the unicorns;
Mighty and proud;

Their heads held high, they barely stop to trot;

They walk us past; without a nod;
They think us nothing;
They think us weak;

Without their magic;
They would surely be meek;

Thus they leave us; to work our land;
Thinking us all too bland;

But we do not rise;
We do not speak;

For we know we are not weak;

For the Earth we are;
For the Earth we stay;

We work and toil; every day;
Earth Ponies; we work away;

For we know the truth;
And without us;

They will surely pay;

Author's Note:

Just an old poem I never posted for reasons unknown. (I think it was from before this story existed)

The challenge came from a forum thread basically looking for somepony who can write an epice, serious peom featuring "Earth Ponies," claiming the name too ridiculous.
