Can of Soda

A can What is it good for? Holding the soda? That's what you want it to do But what if it has a hole A hole that sucks it dry Leaving it hollow. You could patch the hole But it will be destroyed Just like any other before. Found on a store Like any other Sold to anyone But it comes with a surprise No soda An empty can of soda how could that be Isn’t it a can of soda? How could you expect that It strays from normal. Why does everyone love soda? Is it because the can is pretty? What does the can do? Does it have a purpose, Other than holding soda? Everyone expects the soda there But what if it’s not Will the can be thrown out? It never had soda But you only know it now Does it have no value?

Really interesting poem which I take to be about expectations and judging people on looks but then judging them when looks are all they've got. Plus the person who looks the part but fears they have nothing to offer, waiting to be found out. In my head I'm already extending the thought, because no one cares deeply about the can or the soda, they care about quenching their own thirst - very thought provoking analogy. Great work, I enjoyed it!
