Contest Blame it on society. by abyssal at All poetry

Blame any/all problems on society.

-Pick any subject you'd like.
-Whatever format you would like.
-Try to avoid atrocious grammar/spelling errors.

I just had these points sitting here and I'd figured they're not doing any good here. I'd never done a contest before so I'd try it out.

So, just enter and do you best and I'll appreciate it.

Thank-you much.

I feel like I should have never opened it from the start

Plenty or Lack

If I am connected to your, are your connected to me?
If my thoughts affect you, do your thought affect me?
