Why are poems so boring?

Something I've noticed with most of my peers is that they simply don't get the fun part with poems. It's just a bunch of wierd guys high on LCD or Marijuana that wrote something down and called it a masterpiece right?

Maybe. But then what's so interesting with a bunch of nonsence that their poems have survived over the centuries?

Poems can be complicated. Poems can also be easy as pancakes. Poems can be understandable and crystal clear, and they can be blurry and irrelevant. That's what's so interesting with poems and philosophy. Everybody has their view of a poem, And through that persons interpretation of something, we can reveal just about anything about someone.
We can reveal how they think, how they feel, what they have been through.

How about those people that actually wrote the poems?
In just a few sentences we can get more information than seven books on a total of 7000 pages. Sometimes the message is explicit, sometimes it's not. It all depends on how society has tought you to think, what to believe, what's right and wrong.

I've heard alot of people talking about how they want to understand the human mind on a deeper level, what we are capable of, how we think and why we are who we are. The easiest way to do so is through philosophy, using one thing that distinguishes the human race from the rest of the animal kingdom: Our komplex thinking.

When you read a poem, it's impossible to not think of anything when you read it. You either think it's boring, strange, etc., but that is still a feeling about it. And there's a reason why you are feeling that way. It's this that the poets and artists love to use and play with, our feelings, our fears and our strengths.

Do you dare to face them?
