Death of a Coke Can

Death of a Coke Can

 

Once tall and bursting with color
your beauty shone sparkling red and white.
You stood proud and dignified
without any knowledge of your future flight.
Your hardened exterior seemed to reinforce
your confidence and self worth.
Your days had been spent among nobles
who shared the same noble birth.
Then all in one day you became empty,
bent, and useless to the ones who adored you.
You were slammed down, tossed about with a resounding
hollow ring, they all seemed to ignore you.
Suddenly you were crushed and found yourself lying on the floor.
Only to be swept up and deemed trash and tossed out the door.
