To Be Naive Again

As a person people feel personification 
Pleasures deeply embedded 
Emotions as lucid as nightmares
Imaginations brighter and bolder than any artist 
To be naive again
And ignore the ridicule of adolescents
Consuming knowledge faster than we could remember it 
Laughing and enjoying the more complex things in life 
Instead I chose to burden myself as an intellectual 
Educating myself to an extent where the economically wool is no longer over my eyes
And this colorful and vivid dilemma is the actuality of reality 
To be naive again
To see all things from all angles 
Constructs my mind to a bind 
It riddles me 
The youth as the future like babies in pampers with the authority  
Now answer me
As an intellectual the ones that powers power to an extent of growing economies 
Do you believe that these new things will keep us out of tragedy
