If You Clear Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

If you don't clear the hatred
From the garden of the heart
I won't cultivate the flowers

If you don't clear the negativity
From the path of the daily walking path
I won't walk more toward you

If you don't clear the concealed lie
From the shrewd rules of living life
I won't know what the truth is

If you don't clear the apartheid poison
From the blood circulation of human belief
I won't care more the humanity

If you don't clear the revengeful mindset
From the confirmation biased of religion
I won't stop the ferocious crusade

If you don't clear the war and peace theme
In the world book of heinous imperialism
I won't stop the procession of deaths

If you do clear me that you, s/he, and I
We are the same human beings in God's eye
Then I will be cleared from beastly dye
