A poet can't inform people of things?

Seems like a weird take. Poets, musicians and artists have a very long history of inspiring and contributing to movements. Some successful, some not successful. Sometimes heeded and other times ignored until it was too late. But to say being a poet is not trying to inform people is ignorant at best, and is a claim that will need evidence.

Sure, back in ye olde thymes. Things are different in the attention economy and messaging has to be crafted to the audience it serves.
