Answer:
This is an opinionated question, so this is how you feel, but i'll answer in my opinion.
To me, the quote is saying that when poets write poetry, they do it to express themselves, let people connect to them, and create beauty in a dark place. There's no money involved and they don't care about the fame and fortune. But money on the contrary, isn't a beautiful thing. It tears people apart. It shuts lives down. It creates greed, hatred, envy, and feuds. As others say, money is the root of all evil, and it causes people to suffer.
That's my opinion but go ahead and use it I guess.
