To the peacemakers
     who want us to travel
          half the way with BHO. . . .

In a book of Persian proverbs
I find:
یکی با پنبه سر می‌برد یکی با شمشیر
This one kills with a sword,
That one, with cotton.
Wisdom of the ages
Abandoned by wanderers
Lost in the desert
To whom
Even an old shoe
Is a gift from God.
