"(The Poet's poetry should) cheer up slaves and horrify despots."
A poet at his pedestal can be the most frightening and the most love-arousing human in the world. Carving out emotions and striking people in places that are vulnerable. The goal is to liberate the souls of whom you wish to liberate and to shake the those who you feel should be shaken. The souls of men are easy to flounder and there is no other weapons more suitable than the knife, gun, and THE POEM,
Each poem has a theme and a message, problem and resolution. Without being able to stir blood, you will not be able to get across your message to your listeners and it will hit them only as a flesh wound when a poet really wants the heart to explode and the blood to bubble.
