By Maud Pie

Oh how we divide,
Neat from untidy,
Clean from dirty,
Rich from poor.

Oh how we divide,
Stallions from Mares,
Animals from Ponies,
Rocks from dirt.

Oh how we divide,
Crustaceans from insects,
Plants from minerals,
Fish from urchins.

Oh how we divide,
Life from death,
Love from hate,
Eternity from briefness.

Oh how we divide,
Ponies from Foals,
Intelligence from stupidity,
Logic from reason.

Oh how we divide,
Normal from unconventional,
Beauty from ugliness,
Tragedy from fulfillment.

Oh how we divide,
Everything from everypony,
Leaving little room for the things,
That nature intended to be whole

deep but shallow, misunderstandings of the understood.

Umm, according to the show's canon, all of Maud's poems are about rocks. This poem is not about rocks.

6750836 It is the one poem where she experimented with something else. Then she went back to writing about rocks. ;)
