Forgive me gracious mother, and oh so loving father

omnipotence was wasted on this lowly creature, for I

regret my past and live in the shadows of my mistakes



Malice and vice were words never forged by this tongue

yearning to uphold the nobility and the lasting forgiveness.



Kindness, generosity, laughter, loyalty, honesty, and magic;

incomplete pieces of a whole that protect what is mine, as I

now sit at my throne, point my hoof, and speak such knowledge

gibbering nonsense preaching my just word and understanding

deeming solicitor and criminal alike worthy of repentance

ordering tolerance and friendship to all those who strike against us

mocking the very efforts those six put forth to protect my ponies



Alas it is simply put that I who seek the perfection of my nation

lack the ability to make the hard decisions and cease my insufferable

laughable mindset that all can be cleansed of their faults and follies



Selfish as I was and as I am seeking only my way I have placed

heavy burdens on all six of my knights knowing they were prepared,

at least to handle what I was sure I was to cowardly to deal with myself

lending my wisdom as I could when required of me as I simply

lingered in the background watching patiently as they fought on



But I love them none the less as I love the enemies of my kind

understanding that my light is meant to guide the sword that will

rend the shadows that threaten to consume my kingdom my ponies

not scorch the land that I have seen unfit to live with their mistakes.
