Poetry is about using words to proved the reader with an image, feeling or idea. Brick laying is putting a few bricks in the right place. I admit Shakespear is crap but the greats are giants. The war poets for example, give a view of life we will never know.

Besides, poets gain little in the way of remuneration. they do it leave us their ideas and a picture of life. Bricklayers do it for the money.

In the end, life is just a series of moments. We capture each moment, experience it from one perspective and then it is gone. Poets freeze that moment and give it to others and the future.

In the final reckoning, nothing is meaningless. Everything is connected to everything else. Nothing exists in a vacuum without outside influence. Everything is governed by cause and effect. I behave in a certain way that effects you and everyone else. To say nothing has meaning is just an excuse people use to justify how little they have contributed to the moment and to everyone else's moments.
