The Joke Is On Us

The Joke Is Us

Flowers love to meditate—
Raisins tend to congregate.
Here we are—without a peel—
Bananas, naked and exposed
Before the Face of God.

Bananas also congregate
In bunches where they learn to hate.
“They murder, steal and lie,”
Argue, fight, distrust, and die
Before the Face of God.

Positioning themselves socially
By creed and ideology,
Making gods of flags and men
Their righteousness a mere façade
They fail before the Face of God.

Your thoughts are always appreciated—please feel free to leave a comment.

Welcome to The Invisible Sign, a blog for those who seek to see the world without illusion. It is for those who recognize that humanity cannot cure itself—and that religion and politics continue to compound the problems that plague us.

Although many claim to put their faith in God, they often turn to human leaders and religious institutions for answers rather than to their Creator. It has become increasingly clear that religion has done little to heal humanity. Instead, it has too often created confusion, incited hatred, and divided people against one another.
