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!Well, they obviously fucked up somewhere along the line.
lol I'm not pissed that some people don't like it. I just don't think the majority of people understand it and they're judging it based on their ignorance.
Haha you asked this boards opinion and i gave you my opinion, dont be acting as though people dislike it because they dont understand it, the meaning of the poem is obvious it still doesnt make it a good poem. I personally don't like it you do, I am not judging you for liking it so move on away from judging when people dislike it.
sikotic, i hope your not depressed, snap out of it. and a blunt of the good shit will only make you feel better.Far from it my man, but thanks for the concern.
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.

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.

If I'm 27 years old, and STILL obsessing over Nintendo like a 16 year old, it would be in my best interest to commit suicide.Pretty shitty poem, imho.
