State the main idea in "Poetry and Unreality" by Plato.

The main argument in Plato's assertion is that poets
conceal the reality that the philosopher is trying to expose.  In their desire to want
to be appreciated by the masses, the poet essentially that what they are exploring is
truth.  It is within this element that a critical contention of Plato emerges.  Not
everyone is able to appreciate or fully comprehend the nature of truth, the essence of
being.  The poet, for Plato, pretends and does a disservice to the quest in trying to
allow others to see what this truth is and through their work, they actually do more
harm than good because the poet seeks public adulation, which is fickle and can be
contingent on many variables.  This, for Plato, is "unreal" because it does not reveal
the form, the very essence of what truth is.  In Plato's mind, the poet's desire to be
embraced by others for their work and for public acknowledgement creates a realm that is
dependent on popularity and public appreciation, thereby contributing to its "unreal"
nature.
