The author with Prof. Johan Galtung<\/p><\/div>\n

The great hope is a dream.
\nThough he is gone,
\nvision blows<\/p>\n

A world without wars is a dream.
\nEverywhere.
\n\u201c…the history of all hitherto existing
\nSociety is the history of class struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spread classes,
\nProlonged struggles
\nInside, direct, indirect, and with-in-out<\/p>\n

Conflict is the course of nature.
\nNature turns into culture.
\nThe germ is violence, which is justified.
\nhaving said the peace.
\nJohan Galtung, Founders of Peace<\/p>\n

The world is shown by you, the thinker.
\nYou, the master,
\nfrom math to peace
\na science of conflict
\nA theory of peace<\/p>\n

The way to life and the world
\nTo transform the conflict
\nWith the beauty of non-violence<\/p>\n

Criticize the world of power.
\nThe power of the west
\nRest of the west, Johan thinks<\/p>\n

an eye to the Orient, more to Buddhism
\nDaoism, all of holysm
\nA peace fighter, a severe critic, and a saint
\nHaving wisdom, a planet to the earth
\nHope of the great<\/p>\n

Once upon a time
\nAt the house of Dietrich, your friend
\nYour company, and your light
\nIt reminds me of nothing.
\nHaving said that, in that, everything,
\nbecause of nothing.<\/p>\n

from the hatred of the empire.
\nThe power and greedy desire
\nYou are gone, but not gone.
\nthe wisdom, and hope<\/p>\n

On the 17th of February,
\na message by Jan Oberg to the evening
\nThe greatest living thinker ceased to think.
\nMaster of peace
\nPeacefully sleep
\nYour dream without wars We dream
\nTo transform<\/p>\n
