Because I don't want to place a limit on the message delivered by the song.

Folks tend to forget the fact that when albums within those genres are done right, the results may often be quite convoluted, but are nevertheless beautiful and possess just as much meaning from a lyrical perspective as anything The Fall or whatnot have recorded.
I'm not saying they're not.

I only mentioned Prog & Jazz because everybody else seemed to keep mentioning them as something that can compare to classical because of it's complexity or whatever.
I personally don't think you need to go to something as complex or technical as that to prove modern music is just as good as classical. The simplest of pop songs will do just as well.

So then why not write a poem instead of a song?

Because the words with music behind them impact me emotionally in ways that they would without music behind them.

Classical was the last genre I explored, and of all other styles of music it is the only one I'm really picky about.

The classical "fans" I've talked to are the predictable types of course, uptight, sniffling, cobbsnockers who'd **** themselves into orbit the minute a Disturbed track purrs from the stereo.

Pretentious douchebags can be found clinging to any genre of music. I'd doubt you'd find a disproportionate number associated with classical.
