A Rhymed Reflection in Memoriam of Prof. Glenn Paige
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

In Global Political Science history\u00a0there stands out\u00a0Glenn D. Paige
\nfor having written and disseminated an extraordinary, inspiring page:<\/p>\n

In 2002 he launched more than a book: a transformative\u00a0Nonkilling Age
\nwhich has made\u00a0 that visionary\u00a0be\u00a0 remembered as\u00a0a peacebuilding sage<\/p>\n

In Honolulu, Hawaii, the Center for Global\u00a0Nonkilling\u00a0he founded
\nA far-sighted initiative on his seminal concept\u00a0strongly\u00a0grounded<\/p>\n

Physically, Glenn Paige is no longer here
\nsince the early morning of January 22, this year<\/p>\n

Dignihumanizingly , his\u00a0legacy \u00a0will always be here:
\nIn our global efforts, Killing and Violence let`s never fear!
