Big War, Small War, Little War

Wau! Besar punya nomber!
Kecil dan besar.

Adakah Dunia masih lagi memerlukan peperangan bagi menangani tuntutan 'scarce resources' dan 'expanding global population'?

Adakah sekiranya bila peperangan itu betul-betul tiada, terrorisma juga lari ke dalam gua entah di mana tiada lagi mengganggu akal waja warga pendengar-pendengar berita?

Dan tiadakah Kita bermula menjadi 'a lesser Mankind'?

Bukankah peperangan itu telah menjadi darah-daging Adam?

Apa akan jadi pada paderi-paderi gereja dan dan imam-imam surau-surauan? Maka bolehkah dinyanyikan "Imagine there's NO RELIGION"?

Atau apakah Genetics Engineering nantinya hamil dan lahirlah nanti sebentuk mata kunci kesinambungan cerita Bani Adam di muka bumi ini? Mungkinkah kebencian akan tiada lagi hadir dalam koda genetika insan.

Ataukah Alam ini yang menentukan nasib Adam?
