it doesn't take a rocket scientist to read poetry yet most people just dismiss it offhand because they have a preconceived notion about it. after all if the "mass" is dictating your life then you had better fall in line with how they think, and quirky one-liners are in and deep meaningful artworks are out. you have to play to the audience like shakespeare said all the world's a stage.
