Knowledge Vs. Innocence

What we want is always changing

as a kid it started with a new toy

and then begun the inevitable aging

then we just wanted to be employed

 

As kids we were so eager to learn

to soak up anything we can

but little did we know there was no returns

as we turned from a child into man

 

With knowledge comes power

but also the loss of innocence

our purity turned sour

the worlds ugly truths to embrace

 

Losing innocence is part of growing up

we will continue to learn more everyday

but we need to remember to stand up

and that its okay to let our inner child play

 

So one thing I could not live without

is my hopes,dreams,and imagination

because living in a world of fear,anger,and doubt

is what has destroyed mankind as a nation
