This Be The Verse

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.

"And though the good is weak, beauty is very strong. 
Nonbeing sprawls, everywhere it turns into ash whole expanses of being, It masquerades in shapes and colors that imitate existence
 And no one would know it, if they did not know that it was ugly.

And when people cease to believe that there is good and evil
Only beauty will call to them and save them 
So that they still know how to say: this is true and that is false."
