Lost in the Desert
by Yoshie Furuhashi

    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.

Yoshie Furuhashi is editor of MRZine.  She is indebted to Mojtaba
Aghamohammadi for the two proverbs used in this poem.
