The Fall of the Rebel Angels (Giordano) also inspired the stream of thoughts utilized in writing of this poem “We will rise from the torment” by Poet Sarmad Iqbal

Torment is all around us but we persevere

A devil incarnate it is that we fight

A perfidious monster is that we confront

The news is that it has taken an oath in Lucifer’s name

An oath that it will descend us into yet another chaos

But we stand tall despite the cowardly attacks

The incarnate puts even devil to shame in malice

Our enemy is strong but we are stronger

We are stronger with the hope and love

With the love we have for each other in these times

Our strength stems from our enemy’s indifference

The indifference it has to the power of hope and love

The brutal attempts to crush our spirit were indeed in vain

We cry but not mourn when one of us leaves

We await the end of our enemy

Because we believe everything is mortal

We believe nothing is eternal

The incarnate resides in a deceptive oblivion

But we reside in hope and courage

Our armor was our aim to conquer the enemy’s heart

But what a pity our enemy deserves no love

Here is an enemy badly in need of an immortal lesson

The immortal lesson lies in the mortal end of incarnate

The days have been counted so are the hours and minutes

We guffaw at the ironic presence of innocence within your cruelty

We will rise from the torment you have inflicted

Our rise will be remembered forever

A rise even phoenix is not familiar with

Forgive but never forget
