Don't forget to be kind to strangers. For some who have done this have entertained angels without realising it.

I'm kind to Bob Pacey and he seems stranger than most but perhaps not angelic. :o

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.... Henry David Thoreau

It is not the job of the poet to point out what anyone can see for themselves.
It is not the job of the poet to say what anyone can say in response to the world.

Surely not Maureen. :)
In other words, the poet shows what others may not have noticed, because the poet says things in a different way to ordinary speech. Metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and uses language with emotive force rather than simple statements of fact. We are shown how to feel what the poet feels.
As someone has said, art ( poetry ? ) is not a description of an event, it is an event. If we grasp that, we are on the way... hopefully. :)
