Change is possible, breaking the cycle is possible. It’s only when the parents don’t want to change themselves when everything becomes fucked up.
It’s a kick-ass poem and having kids these days is at least questionable, but there is living proof out there that people can change and not everything is as bleak as it’s made out to be.

The poem was written semi-sarcastically. But it hits hard because there is truth to it.
Philip Larkin was not an anti-natalist.
Oh, I didn’t want to imply that this was my opinion of Larkin.
Ok. Anyways yeah I think it’s a cool poem but I don’t agree with it.
