Of course Wilfred could have shown a movie on mustard gas that could have been far more effective at communicating the "horrors of war"
Do you believe the message in Dulce et Decorum est is that war is terrible? If that is the case, I have some bad news for you.
Do you believe Shakespeare is trying to communicate that this lad is fair or that should reproduce or that he loves some lass in his sonnets? What poor message would this be?
If the purpose of poetry is to communicate, is the purpose of reading poetry to receive a communication?
(I am not sure where the automatic writing is coming from as I believe it to be shite)
