Unintimidated by the imposing vehicles,
Unafraid of the erratic drivers,
Unashamed of her state of existence.
Unrelenting in her fight against poverty,
She moves swiftly at the traffic signal,
Finding a crevice between the line of cars,
She sells her stuffed toys with a flourish,
Her marketing genius persuading even the most stubborn,
A blanket of confidence hiding her torn clothes,
Mental strength overshadowing her emaciated face,
All of three feet, yet dwarfing the mountain of problems,
She stands tall amidst us all!

great poem!
I think the footnote spoils the effect and should be removed :)
Very nicely written, but I second Kandarp's comment..:)
The joy that goes with deciphering poems like these should be left to the reader..:) Without the footnote i can put the same thing in 3 different perspectives and that too by reading it once..:)
point taken guys..have removed the footnote :)
