Hard Work Vs Greed

She is young, She is eager, She is the stepping stones to your success ... 

With perseverance and continuous applications,
She finally gets the call, She has the  job,
She is a cleaner,
She is the helper, But

She cleans with passion,
A smile on her face and a song in her heart,

At your call, She is there,
You can see the appreciation on her face,
the twinkle of hope in her eye,

She know's she is capable of so much more,
While you come to the realization that you have scored,

Jumping at the opportunity, You give her the one thing she has been yearning for,

Her prayers for experience have been answered,
Her dedication, her motivation and her Soul is put into your Empire,

Your decision was made,
Very chuffed with yourself,
You offered minimum wage,

You should be ashamed

So true of so many countries and companies. We have had that experience ... maids, too, in RSA. But somehow, this poem also celebrates the resilience & love of the poorer people, lower classes/castes/ races/ immigrants ...too. amen and shalom Luayne. Anil Deo
