Dear Princess Celestia,

I can not fathom your, or Princess Luna's for that matter, proclivity to stand and watch as Equestria burns. It is now evident to me, and the rest of Equestria, that the main reason you are not acting is not out of malice. It is out of fear. Both you and Princess Luna are terrified. For what conceivable reason, I know not. The two of you are the most powerful entities in Equestria, you hold dominion over the night and the day, and you do nothing to better your ponies. Ponies are dying in the streets, and you have yet to even mobilize the guard, in spite of several officials' requests.

I now know why you call us your "little ponies". It is not out of an acknowledgement of a size difference, it is because you do not see your ponies as equal to yourselves. For the first time in a very long time, I must wholeheartedly disagree with your concept of them. I have found my eyes open to your actions. 

When Chrysalis invaded Canterlot, you ignored my warnings, and when the time came to redeem yourself you were unable to stop the queen. Furthermore, Princess Luna was entirely absent from the conflict. Neither you, nor your sister had in place a plan for succession in the event of incapacitation. Equestria was left leaderless. 

Finally, the Tirek crisis. You employed possibly your oldest and most dangerous enemy to seek out another enemy. You failed to declare a state of emergency while Tirek was stealing magic. Possibly the most egregious and borderline incompetent action you have ever taken was the magic transfer. Instead of taking the fight to Discord and Tirek, you threw away your only weapon against them. You threw it at me, an inexperienced, unsure alicorn who didn't even know how to use her own power, much less that of the sun and moon. 

It was nothing more than luck that allowed us to beat Tirek. You made sure of that.

After this and prior events, I can no longer say I find you, either of you, worthy of leading Equestria.
