Indeed. 
Something else to consider is that perhaps if the average person can feel comfortable with a well-written, intelligible poem - or any piece of text - that speaks immediately to him/her, that person may eventually feel enough at ease to move on to more complex or abstract thoughts expressed in a piece of writing.
I feel too that a lot of poets (and writers of lyrics) don't fully understand what they're even trying to communicate. This contributes to the unintelligibility. I believe it was Einstein who said that if something can't be explained simply, it means the person isn't clear about what he or she is trying to express.
Just a thought.
