A/N: This could fit all four brothers, but I'm sure many of you will lean a bit further towads Raph. Personally, I can't explain it, but I keep thinking Donnie. Is that just me, or what? Enjoy.

IGNORANCE IS STILL BLISS

by

Mickis

Genre: Poetry/Angst

Language: English

Summary: Innocence is a temporary state of being, due to the inevitable act of growing up.

I remember a time when fears were nothing but fears
And nightmares something you always woke up from
I remember when my dreams had yet to be unfulfilled
And my hopes still not smashed

I remember a time when tears were spoiled
And laughter something built on innocence
I remember when my problems were petty
And my anger still unjust

Knowledge may be a treasure
But ignorance is still bliss
For while ignorance is what makes the mind prejudiced
Knowledge is the one responsible for turning it bitter
