It is obvious that poetry sort of left the people at some point in history and with out any law left the public domain.

The answer to the question is that poetry is incredibly awesome, fascinating, and a condensed or concise way of using language. It does not have to be deep or profound. In fact poetry at it's best just puts a bit more heart into the language and that should be more fun than depressing.
