Fantoche....

Genuineness...

what is it?
Should I be worried
for what it is?

"No", I said.
"We should not be worried,
if we remain true
to what we are."

"Fantoche"...
a braggart.
We are not that.
If we walk the path
with a clean heart.

Not that we are perfect,
perfect we are not.
Mistakes in abundance
lie along our trail.

But genuine... not perfect
honest and whole
only one thing
"Fantoche",
oh, that
we are not!
