yeah. i was making a symbolic point with this poem, and a lot of my poems are literal, so yeah i could see where your perspective comes from

I understand what you're saying, but I'm only going to agree with you 75% of the way.  Children are better than adults to a certain extrent.  For example, during a mushroom challenge (building the tallest biulding out of only 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow that had to be placed at the top of building) the team that was successful in doing this was a group of children, the reason they were successful in doing this than the adults, is because they were "more open to ideas and suggestions." As a child you are always asking the question, "Why?" When we age and become older we lose that "inquisitiveness in large part because we begin to rely more on our assumptions to inform us of the realities of any particular situation."   I feel like I went to deeply in this subject, but I enjoyed reading your poem.
