🔰The shots in this video are from my hometown and mainly one of the oldest neighborhoods. The poem used is This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin, one of his darkest poems. Don't take his meanings too literally, it can only lead to sadness although the existence of this poem should be a reminder to live your life in the opposite way. All of the above are just my thoughts on the poem, you are free to disagree with me and I welcome you to express your opinions in the comment section.

🔰This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin

They f*ck 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 f*cked 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.
