The Boss Factor-a poem by Bhaskar Sodankoor



The Boss Factor


♣
On the runway
Where the aircraft
Leaves the runway
To float in the air
With that extra power
Of the engine,
♣
On the tennis court
Where the player
On the losing run
Suddenly bounces back
With that extra resolution
Of winning,
♣
On the hospital bed
In coma and on the way to no return
Powers his will to live
Rises above
His battered body
And makes a rapid recovery,
♣
On the losing trail
Where the idea of giving up
Overpowers all further endeavors
Blasts and falls into pieces
Beholding the powerful
Rise of faith from the remains,
♣
Under the never ending ambience of
Triumph of evil
Over good
Asserts the undying hope
Powered by the desire
To do the right thing defeating the wrong,
♣
Chased away from the self
On the never ending run
Dog- tired and gasping for breath
Surrenders to the all-pervading presence
Stands up filled with the power
Of spirit over body.
♣
Call it the “Boss Factor”
Or the microchip
Of the Big Boss
Planted inside
Controlling you
And comforting you.
♣
