Dana Gioia wrote that poetry is "words charged with their utmost meaning". If there is any way that words can change the world that hears them, it makes sense to me that poetry would be the most effective way of going about it.
You mentioned theatre -- did you ever get involved in poetry readings or slam poetry? I don't know as much about poetry-as-performance as I would like, and I get the sense that there is performance or movement or ritual of some kind that yearns to go with the piece you shared here that I simply don't have the experience to make sense of.
