Some invite me to their houses <br />But I cannot go there as I have other plans. <br />I just say, 'Another day, I shall make it'. <br />That day never comes. <br /> <br />They invite me again <br />But I cannot go there still, my plans are being worked out <br />I just repeat, ' Another day, believe me'. <br />They smile- They know it. <br /> <br />They look at me <br />As if to enquire whether I would make it this time. <br />But I am what I was and how shall I go? <br />They go away still smiling. <br /> <br />I at last realise and tell it aloud <br />I won`t go anywhere whoever may invite me. <br />I have made a big SHELL for all. <br />And am waiting to withdraw myself into it for ever. <br /> <br />I will take everyone into my SHELL which has a big mouth <br />I won`t let you tell, 'another day and another day'. <br />I will drag you all into it for ever, it`s certain. <br />My SHELL will swallow you all on a day.<br /><br />M.D DINESH NAIR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-day-43/
