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. #damus #nostr #grownostr #bitcoin #poetry #introduction #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #artstr

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 #damus #nostr #grownostr #poetry #bitcoin #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #introduction

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 #nostr #grownostr #poetry #introduction #damus #bitcoin #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity

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 #damus #nostr #introduction #grownostr #bitcoin #poetry #poem #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity

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 #nostr #grownostr #poetry #bitcoin # introduction #damus #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity

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” #nostr #grownostr #artstr #poetry #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity

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. - Lailanite

"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. #bitcoin #nostr #grownostr #artstr

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. #nostr #poetry #grownostr #introduction #artstr #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity

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! #poetry #nostr #bitcoin #artstr #grownostr #introductions #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity

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! - Lailanite #noastr #artstr #grownostr #introductions #bitcoin #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetry #DamusNostrpoets

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. #nostr #poetry #artstt #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity #introduction

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. #nostr #grownostr #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity

ASCENDANCE TREATY WITH THE ALMIGHTY Bring me back to my reality, Get me out of the line of infinity I admit it, you didn't break me, You didn't harm me, But you shrouded me, You entombed me, Even my evidence is difficult to see. My existence vaguely crosses time As I endure another depressing state. Years are passing, The Body is fading, And the end is just another phase. The moment of my awakening has thrown me Beyond the unexplainable, beyond matter, To a present soaked with the tears of long ago. Among creatures, you granted me the highest status; The decent stature, Then Consciousness became my vengeance, I repented. You commanded me to fear liberty, To disbelieve my darkness, my demons The abode of the righteous was my honor, I obeyed. As I built my throne from water and dirt, I will erase the footsteps of the prophets, Detach the chains of my descendants, To reveal my rightful individuality, And heal my rebellious DNA. #poetry #nostr #grownostr #WritersConnect #DamusNostrWriters #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity
