Why are poems such dissapoint now days

Why are poems such dissapoint now days
So many simple words too many simple man
Please try harder or is this the best all you can do, this is why this world is hungry for truth 
Nobody wants to really go any deeper
Simple stupid all these grave sights where all these simpletons go to rest, can someone please try to write just one sentence that will make me think does poetry even exist. 
So much garbage  and not enough real heart
Dont waste my time and tell me how to write
Your insecurities are killing all of us now
Again i beg you all please give me some heart
Give me something real i want to bleed
When i read i want to take a breath and know
I would take the next too after you you fool. 
Enough of this paid passes into gates of shame
Your money is good here your wins are lonely
I cant suck up just for fame i got whats called real pain deep down i can destroy you and you know it so stop running just write a poem it is just that simple.
