Music and poetry occupy a central place in any society. This idea was explored by William Blake and Percy Shelley. According to Blake, poetry fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion to their poetry, painting and music. While Shelley in her defence of poetry declared poets the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
Poetry and music go beyond mere entertainment, from poems and songs we learn about human behaviour, politics, family values, education, humility, different cultures, science, technology, cohesion, animals and religion.
