BODY RIPPED AWAY FROM EXISTENCE
I exist in the smoke of my ruins and no longer feel my senses
Death raced with my dreams and won the gold medal.
My bones are scattered from the horrors of reality
Crucified on the wooden beam of nonexistence,
And my eyes flitting between bodies in search of the divine miracle.

Night Whispers
In me, there is a whisper that chokes for the unknown
The mystery begins as my heart flutters with every whisper
Do I purify myself and ask for forgiveness?
Or dance with the devil for eternity?
Do I recite verses and pray before leaving?
Or throw a laugh at the unheard?
Do I scream for existence?
Or lay roses at my grave?
I whisper

To Die Is To Live
Upon my transition, I shall ascend to the highest To exist with the immortals that hear prayers and wishes
I shall leave the night to the moon and caves and the morning to the roosters and sages I shall visit the planets and unicorns And burn in a flame of an interstellar stone I shall abandon my body, I shall abandon its existence
Then In the wreckage of a burning meteor
I will lie as I rip my tongue and break my heart And with the support of the angels and 72 virgins
I'll remain,
I'll remain in the unidentified

Her Dark Paradise
Dark Blue and gold surround her
A smile from the black paradise
Her eyes reflect the mercy of God
Her hands touched the sorrow of Satan
Her eyes watered with clouds, rain washed away the
sins of Satan
He sees her hanged by the rope of the universe
A smile for death as if she has lived anew
A woman who was created out of the emptiness of the universe
Her eyes in the face of the shadow gave him the euphoria of death
He loved her as life, she loved him as death He sees her in the reflection of his mirror, hears her in the growling of a defeated lion, feels her in the whirling of longing dervish She found her Creator in his eyes And loved him in the light
But the Devil's cry called to her
So she returned,
She returned to her black paradise

Go back to your roots, where your demons wait
Mourn your heart, and bleed for growth
Abandon your adulthood,
to reconcile with the pain and beauty of the youth

DAUGHTERS OF THE NILE
Inside the curves of our heart and soul
We explore our remarkable femininity
Fluttering our white wings, eager for victory
Sawing with the pain of our creation
Kneeling to the blood of our formation
And with our crown held high, white lilies in our skies
The angels shall chant “Rise up daughters of Nile”
“Rise up”

Unconsciousness
With the angel of the afterlife on my back
I devoted my all to the darkness of the last winter And levitated, light and empty
A rope of purpose tied me up
To guide me when I yearn for the starry night
For the gold of my ancestors, For the footsteps of eternity.
Spirits,
Don't let me leave the tomb just yet;
Take me back to my sleep of consciousness, And bury my fragments
Along with the gold and glory.

"Navigating Economic Crisis: The Role Bitcoin Could Play in War-Stricken Regions"
From a person who has been affected by war and loss of assets!
In war-torn regions like Sudan, where corruption and lack of authority exacerbate economic crises, we as individuals faced the harsh reality of losing jobs, homes, assets in banks, and life savings. In such dire circumstances, Bitcoin could’ve emerge as a potential lifeline for those seeking financial resilience.
Bitcoin's decentralized nature acts as a safeguard against arbitrary confiscation by corrupt authorities. In a climate where traditional assets are at risk of being seized or devalued, the borderless and censorship-resistant features of Bitcoin offer individuals a way to retain control over their wealth.
Moreover, the portability of Bitcoin could prove invaluable for us who were forced to flee our homes. Unlike physical assets or money in traditional banks, Bitcoin is stored digitally, allowing individuals to carry their wealth discreetly across borders, mitigating the risk of further loss.
However, it's crucial to acknowledge the volatility of cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin presents an alternative store of value, its price fluctuations require careful consideration. Education and awareness about the risks and benefits of embracing Bitcoin in such situations become paramount.
In summary, Bitcoin, with its decentralized and portable attributes, could offer a measure of financial security for individuals grappling with the devastating effects of war, corruption, and economic instability in regions like Sudan. Nevertheless, the decision to invest in cryptocurrencies should be approached with caution and a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved.

INSIDE THE TUNNEL OF REDEMPTION
My eyes look at me at the end of the tunnel My hands are holding my memorial candles And my ears are listening to the demon's lullaby.
Separated from my humankind and bloodline
Searching for the remains of my body In the tunnel leading to the valley of escape The closer I get, the more the chains Of my culture and faith bind me, So I go back,
I go back to the world of sin and righteousness.

FROM OUTSIDE THE HEAVENLY REALM
Under the cursed tree
As I sat remembering my time in heaven
My mind flooded with questions
Why did I exist?
Am I important?
Or am I the karmic debt to those around me? I asked Suddenly I found myself shackled in the seventh level of hell, Where a tormented world without sin,
Silent screams,
A cold sun,
And melted eyes with a broken heart awaited me
Existence isn't what I asked for, so I wept And now all I can do is welcome, Welcome my inevitable fate!

Stabilization
Into the darkness of the sun, At the gates of the cemetery Fate is waiting for me, Your sanctuary is ready, it says The cold air picks up my tears, And the thick fog of time envelopes me Where are we going? I ask It replies, "To stability"
There is no shelter for you in this world, No place for you with the heavens and stars, You don't rise with the sun or shine with the moon,
You are neither a spirit nor a body, You don't breathe the air or taste life
So go now, and create your world You are free!

I shall abandon my body,
I shall abandon its existence

I will lie as I rip my tongue and break my heart
And with the support of the angels and 72 virgins

EXISTENCE & DEATH
Existence, like death and ascension, is a mystery
With earlier souls breathed life into the earth
It is our lost souls that sleep in the graves
Veins attached to the roots of our intimates
And the eye is flooded with our hurts
Are we still alive? Who decides?
Existence, like death and ascension, is a fear
A pillar of light awaits across the other dimension, they say
Heaven and hell, which way?
It's the dark side of life that lies within
Are we still alive? Who decides?
Existence, like death and ascension, is a pain
As we built civilizations, we destroyed reality
Unaware, asleep
Who are we and when are we awake?
Existence, like death and ascension, is a fate.

TRACING THE STEPS OF OUR ANCESTORS
From the window of the madness
I contemplate the melting of stars and planets
On a sky heavy with the spirit of the deceased before us
Their light of presence fills the ground
As cypresses burn to remind us of their spirit
Its smoke fills the sky
Drawing ripples in the distance to wake them up at night
But who is awake and who is asleep?
Who sustains the earth and who enlightens it?
Is heaven their light that illuminates us?
Or is the truth confirms our fate?
In our village, the glory of what they have achieved is evident
It is their bodies that nourish the land
And right and wrong are the infinite circles of life
There will come a day when our grandchildren will look up to our glory
We will swim in a sky that connects life and death together;
So let us look to the sky again
To be crowned with the light of our fathers,
And to build the earth,
To build the glory for our grandchildren.
