Oi! What about my poem - the first in the post! See: A500798
It appeared on the 31st January 2000

I know...
It is in the Stories and Articles about h2g2 archive at A700741
Technically it didn't appear under the h2g2 poem category, but I suppose I can put it there if you like!

Give us a chance - this is a mighty long and involved task doing these 'ere archives guv!

Well, it would be nice. I hope to get my name in each category at least once, and being the first on the Poetry archive looks impressive!

So, will I get to be in the Poetry Archive? Great!

Try refreshing the page!

I think that A781166 should be included in the archive as it rhymes!

The Cruel Mother
**************
I felt little tremor,
As it is more and more;
Day by day more hostility.
The world is going to be enemy,
Enemy of my life.
I am a mother,
Three kids;
No more two.
I was a mother of three kids.
I enjoyed the pain from beginning to end;
I enjoyed when my heart is cruel,
Cruel in the world of stoicism.
I had nothing to do:
Cry, weep, howling and tears!
All are static;
Vain in the world of reality.
Here scorching heat;
No food,
Death is inevitable.
Please believe me:
I was not born in barren land,
But I begot them in barren land,
No place of the real mother,
The mother of blood and life.
Here dying lives, fading hopes;
Mothers can't help being cruel,
Cruel in East Africa,
The victim of climate change.
