In an age when people lose their souls and tongues lack genuine sincerity, poetry stands to shape our empty lives with joy and sorrow. “Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life burns well, poetry will be only ashes” (Leonard Cohen). Forgotten and abandoned just like our killed hopes, violated values ​​and unrealized dreams, poetry is abandoned alone, far from us, on a desert island of ignorance. Indeed, no one would deny the significant role of poetry in our lives. However, there is an ongoing debate about the importance of poetry as a type of art in enriching our lives and whether it was useful in educating children. As a result, today, some realists argue that poetry cannot contribute to society and should not be introduced to children, while other intellectuals believe that the arts can improve man's way of thinking. Objectors of the poem claim that it would fuel unbridled passions and unleash uncontrolled emotions; therefore, it would lead man to let himself be guided by his own insatiable lusts. "Poetry nourishes and irrigates the passions instead of drying them up; it lets them dominate, even if they should be controlled, if humanity is to grow in happiness and virtue" (Plato, author of the Republic). In particular, opponents of poetry believe that passions should be controlled to a greater extent. The admission of poetry to society only in the form of hymns to gods and praises to heroes is considered their only option. Furthermore, some realists believe that poetry would make young children unruly, unruly, and rude since they have been taught to judge things based on their inner emotions and feelings. On the other hand, supporters of the poem believe that it was that mirror that does everything... in the middle of the paper... at all ages. However, today there has been a growing and intense debate about its admission to children at an early age. Critics of poetry insisted that poetry should not be allowed to children as it might stoke passions, ruin their nature, and encourage their rebellion. In contrast, defenders of poetry argued that it should be presented to children to promote better communication and awareness, promote great values ​​and virtues, nourish their imagination, and stimulate their creativity. However, I believe that children should have some exposure to poetry from an early age as I have personally experienced the benefits and advantages of learning poetry at an early age. I think that those soldiers of words who fight for our freedom and dignity using poems and verses as weapons can undoubtedly free our thoughts and guarantee us a better life.
