Pockets full of ego
Splashing the latest gadgets
Hanging out at the most luxurious clubs
With faces made of the latest make-up
Pretenders are everywhere
Pretending to have it all
Predisposing themselves to all the nasty abuse
By the rich and famous
Pretenders are normally school going children
Sub-adults human beings
Looking for extracurricular boyfriends and girlfriends
To teach them the lessons of life
On the blackboard of their bedrooms
Another breed of pretenders
Walk the streets of life
Unemployed and carefree
Lazy but fearless
Looking for the latest "Blesser"
To bless their life with comfort
Yet another caliber of pretenders exist
Mostly made up of young recently employed males
Driving the latest golf gti (vhrrr phaa)and BMWs
Totally clueless about the streets of life
Yet full of ego and eagerness
To expose themselves to the harsh lessons of life
Pretenders have a short life expectancy
Risky behaviours are part of their survival skills
Over speeding, over spending, drug and alcohol abuse
Form part of their recreational activities
Pretenders are clueless human beings
Pretending to know the finest things about life

You are absolutely right. Generally the young generation, who are over smart and think themselves all knowing live a life of delusion. They are most of the times headache to the mature old generation people who live a simple and plain life. Thanks for sharing such a nice poem.10+++++
