In the past, poets used to be decadent dandies who challenged the moral of their times. But today, where decadence has become mainstream and there is no moral left, poets must be like angels.

No. Theyve become that whomst they've hated;even worse. It's everyone's duty to be contration to the past contrarians..
In what form I don't know. Whatever is closest to improving the family unit in my opinion. Rn I would say statistically Mormon ideology should be pushed in some form,preferably not distilled.

Spengler was right in almost everything, but he said something that I can't understand. If we are in the era before the fall of the Republic/Modernity, in transition towards Cesarism, why won't be good poets anymore? The most prolific era in Roman History for poetry was the early days of the Empire, with Virgil, Horatio, Juvenal, Marcial, Lucan, Ovid...

Poetry does not exist today, it only survives through music. Nobody listens to 'angel music'

Those are not morals. It was easier to control people with pavlovization and gaslighting.

This isn’t true. Maybe poets were decadent dandies in the 1900s and just prior, but that was not the norm throughout history. Poets typically came from nobility or aristocratic backgrounds so in that way they were distinct from mass society, but they weren’t decadent dandies. Goethe, Dante, and Shakespeare would probably each challenge you to a proper duel if you referred to them as such.

If anything, poets need to be exactly like society, just honest.

Far from it! Warren Buffett drives a beater car, Mark Zuckerberg wears jeans and a t-shirt, the biggest scandal among the wealthiest was Jeff Bezos divorcing his wife for... some dried-up slag of a journalist! The popular decry Donald Trump (PBUH) for his "garish" tastes, which are really quite tame in the grand scheme of things. The mode of the day is false modesty, and the ostracization of anyone who dares to step beyond! You must embrace decadence.
