Why William Blake use Innocence and Experience two write poem intoparts?

Looking through those 4 parts of poem, I found that the way William wrote the poem is interesting. He separated the poem to two parts, which is Innocence and Experience. In the Innocence part, he usually talks about the pure and innocent things in the world, also he describes how life goes wonderful and how relationship between people goes well. It just like the view of a kid who is still live with his parents, who have not step into the adult life and touch the dark side of the world, I named this kind of view as angel's view. At the same time, he also writes the second part which is Experience part. It shows the dark side of the world, such as telling people how government and religion ruin the kids, describing the situation that children have such as starvation and being abandoned. He wrote this as the view of an adult who is fully suffered in the society and have so many experiences. He deeply knows the injustice treatment of the world, so I named it truth's view because it tells us the reality of that time.

I think the reason he wrote it as two different views is that he wants to compare the differences between two angles of a same topic so that it tells people there is injustice an horrible things in the world, but the innocent and beauty is still exist. The innocence part is his imagination and the experience pat is the reality.
