' Underdog? ' Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

The challenge is posted
a sure promotion is open
only two persons are noted
as both got Masters degree
and currently section heads

Such position qualifies anyone
bearing the basic requirements
that I have plus the experienced
working assistant to both contenders

'Obey before you complain'
is my role as a subordinate
which gives me advantage
for doing much of the work

Most often my superiors order me
to write proposals, letters and SOP
attends to their work when absent
In short I acted on their positions

Now, who says I can't perform
what they are capable of doing
when in fact they just sign on
the work that I do for them

Professionally we all are equal
but they are my seniors in service
though capability wise we are even
as underdog, do I have the chance?
