Interlude - Fields

I have been told that my head is in a field of flowers.

But isn't it nicer here than a field of gunshots and violence.

I have been told that humans are inherently prone to fighting for power.

But after years of evolution surely we could make an effort to change. 

I have been told that one eye must be given for one which has been taken.

But how will we show off our pretty colours when you see nothing but dollar signs and grenades.

I have been told that I'm too naive and nice. 

But if hate begets hate begets hate like an endless cycle why can't we at least try something else.
