Dante likened His presence to the Rose
Tradition His absence to Fire
We contemplate the Fire and the Rose
Clairvoyance cannot reveal His will
We've always been taught that good destroys evil
We've always been taught that Christ would prevail
We've always been told there's truth in the symbols
We've seen for ourselves that flame destroys all
If the Fire consumes the Rose
Then evil would triumph over good
And if Satan shall win the immortal fight
Does that mean that God is not God?
