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.

Interesting, that's a very thoughtful poem. I used to keep a journal regularly back in the day and it made me realize that I was following certain patterns in my life, and that those patterns were actually the patterns of my parents. Realizing that I was able to make adjustments, and ultimately I forgive my parents and I am grateful for the things they have done for me.

Well, they obviously fucked up somewhere along the line.
Larkin is a great modern poet. Just because some of you are too slow to understand the message behind his words (I think 7even gets it), don't blame him.
If you think the purpose of the poem is to put his parents on blast, then you either only read the first line or you're a fucking idiot.

no shit - I am at least twice as intelligent than you. What you're trying to explain to me, I caught from the poem and I moved past it when I was 16. I'm now 27. If at 16 I was more intelligent than you are now, imagine how superior my intellect must be at the age of 27.
