You say the meaning is corrupt. (I can't understand your next two sentences.) You say it's dull and empty. But your lack of appreciation is more likely due to defects in your own nature. You say that you speak for the public: that's merely conceit, especially if you put it in capital letters.
I love his poems the best. Thank you. He truly is our kindred spirit.

Your reaction is of little interest to others. Boredom etc. come from within. If you have anything to say about the piece, then I suggest you say it.
