If You Clear
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
