When I write poetry, I'm able to escape from all of the barriers I have.
I don't really know how to do that with music.
Sorry to be a pain in the ass but I come from a different place, so I'm fairly curious. What should a song be? I don't mean to sound prosecutorial here but it seemed for so much of this thread most people said they were interchangeable, I said songs are far less rigid than a poem would be otherwise...

You now represent a balance in the argument.
