Do I get the job sir? <br />Tomorrow we can confirm. <br />He needed an employment so badly <br /> <br />A boy of nineteen <br />An would be graduate <br />Thrown into the vortex of life <br />To shoulder responsibilities <br />A boy of his age would not normally be required to do. <br /> <br />He touched his right hand on his head <br />And said <br /> <br />I promise to come back tomorrow. <br /> <br />He went out on the road <br />With the dream of tomorrow <br />Little sunlit little brighter than today <br /> <br />His mind drifted someplace else... <br /> <br />His head crushed under the wheels of a bus! <br /> <br />I see him standing before me <br />His hand on his head <br />His lips parting in the vow <br /> <br />I promise to come back tomorrow. <br /> <br />Have you ever wept for someone <br />You don’t know have never seen <br />For you just a piece of news <br />Another accident <br />Another death on the road? <br /> <br />Then you would understand <br />Why my tears were inconsolable <br /> <br />Come back boy <br />Come back somehow <br />tomorrow<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tomorrow-237/
