Simply Diet Coke

There are times where I wish things 
                were as simple as Diet Coke. 
I am simple.  I am complex
     Think of me, and I will appreciate
even the lightest action
I feel like my opinions are
      more valued if they rhyme and
flow smoothly, but
that is not the case.
      Humans are hard to understand, but
they reap great rewards.
     Taking the time to recognize and
appreciate someone's Diet Coke is
crucial to the worth of that person.
     People are responsive, so respond to
everyone as though he or she is a person.
     Value does not lie in the dollar, but
what is chosen to do with that dollar.
I grew up in a family where
   you gave what you had when you
had it because if someone needs
something and you can provide it,
you might as well.
   We gave, we give, what we have
because we know well how it feels to go
without.
    And when we were dependent,
someone cared for us.
     Poverty may not be good, but
it is certainly a close sibling to reality.
