Good intentions (ChatGPT)

Perhaps the sharpest editorial question is: After reading this poem, what can I see, think, or experience that I couldn't before? If the only answer is I feel more strongly about what I already believed, something important may be missing.

And the irony is that a poem can have an entirely admirable message while offering very little as an artistic experience. Good intentions don't exempt a poem from aesthetic scrutiny.
