Come Clean Poem by Raj Arumugam

you know
if you dropped your clichés
in your language
in your writings and speech
you will have clarity;
it will sparkle

and so if you dropped
all the clichés you feed yourself
all the clichés your religions
and your Holy Books
and your Great Religious Leaders train you into
and if you dropped all your Revelations
and theology and your philosophies -
for all these are clichés, ideas put into you
your second-hand way of seeing things,
things you are conditioned into -
then you come in to see what is unconditioned and clear
then you come clean
