The art of faking


Dazzling diamonds on its exterior,
Yelling brand showcasing being privileged, 

Inside, just a tissue and visiting cards
Sufficient to wipe off the embarrassment naked


Insides of a pompous purse,
Of a wanna be celebrity, lost and caged.

    Ahh...so i guess this post inclines towards the female population more. Haven't heard of a diamond studded wallet before :)
    Quite true, i must admit. Today's youth is becoming more flashy and hollow. They need more substance to survive.
