To Dante's Hell and the Fall of Satan

Miracles are of angels—
even the fallen ones—remember
the idol elections;

Yet, know that the devil
is as much a lie today
as when with wolves like
Pharaoh, Ahab, and Jezebel;

Though he may ride high today,
certainly he will surly fall tomorrow:
it has been seen and predicted again;

Look through the tears of blood
and see the falling coming—
no lie can live forever—only truth;

While the night’s injustice seems to be upon us, 
know the stars are twinkling; that the sunshine of justice
will surly rise and Satan and his angels will just as surly fall
like the lightening does from heaven: resurrection is no lie.  Word.
