This Be The Verse
By Phillip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

J Bananas:
no santanas town but its got a couple hot lines

Pretty shitty poem, imho.  The guy should just kill himself to break the cycle.  My parents kept me safe and raised me when I couldn't take care of myself.  Thank god they were there!

I agree, people suck. Fuck kids too. My parents fucked up in many ways while raising me. Things that I can see now but couldn't see when I was a child, and now I can't change them no more cause my personality is set. I also see my brother fucking shit up unintentionally while raising his kids. I'm sure at least 95 percent of parents suck at raising children in one way or the other. Children suck too. They are dumb, ungrateful pieces of shit. I hate people.

virtuoso:
The poem is crap if I am being totally honest, seems like it has been written by someone in their early teens at best.
