the women sweeping sunny mornings
they shine like gold dust.

There's a class called "Bhangi's" (basically Dalits) who are said to be "born to do this job". Watch this documentary called Lesser Humans, you'll know what I mean. http://material.ahrchk.net/video/lesser-humans.html
There should be more like YOU out there. So many people just dont give a shit about ordinary folks anymore. Good for you for being awesome!
I came across your blog through reading mentalie's post. Love your stuff.
@ Eveline - Oh you make too much of it! It's a mere haiku :P
Thanks for liking my blog. Stick around :)
