From Saudi Arabia, college student, I go to Marian university in Indianapolis; majored in Biology with concentration in exercise physiology. Want to become a professional sports medicine specialist or a physical therapist. Big fan of soccer, country music, and movies.
Might I travel through time to see the crulety? Of what we define as death or human mortality That Limits our joys and the Godly given totality!!! It keeps us in fear of the mythical divinity Regardless of not knowing to which divine is superiority. Leading us to rage, grief, and pain with helpless tragedy Which we might even come to enjoy its collateral beauty. We are told that time would heal the wounds with its mystery Pouring rains of happiness to the unforgotten memories Instead it flows like a wind shaking the pleasant acceptability. I'd say time is a rutheless illusion full of ambiguities that make you question why on earth would Gilgamesh seek immortality!?

Death
Our world today is filled with lies and painful rage Wars, destruction, and fear with senseless hate Many Leaders’ obsessions to become super great Led to Killings without thinking of the one who creates Don’t they worry about the day in hell they’d suffocate Or is it lack of faith, yet thinking everything is fate All they worry about is how history will narrate Heroes, or villains, depends on how you translate sometimes depends on how your faith accommodates Christians believe their faith is superior you shall celebrate Muslims believe heaven is through their way you must navigate Didn’t God tell you to him only you must dedicate? And killing your own is a sin that he shall not tolerate Yet behind the mask of religion you all instigate A war of self- interest then meaninglessly advocate “The older you grew, the wiser you became” Oh, Wait, wait, wait! could you illustrate? Because our leaders have grown into a psychological stage of “Childate” Making decisions that even a child wouldn’t appropriate Now I tell you, the end of the world we shall anticipate For peace is far, far, far away from the stairs of our gates Pray to the only God who taught us how to appreciate And hope that one day Humans will better communicate

Our Leaders Today
From time to time I see her face; in class, or at her place My heart desires her neat smile Or her “hello” that brings me a mile Afraid to say that she’s all I desire Cuz may or may not I face denial “It’s just a friendship, don’t spoil” If you were me, would you howl? Or shy away with pain and stifle Hurts to the guts to fear refusal Yet may regret to be a with-holder When time runs out of occasions You will cry all night for a retrieval Just Give it a shot and be hopeful It might never be a disapproval It could be “it’s about time for the proposal”!!!

Fear of rejection
To Aphrodite I pray, Goddess of love and intimacy, that in this faithful day, the right girl would find my way!

Looking for love
Oh, on earth I swore, never to get married again After getting divorced, glad to relinquish the pain Trapped in a filthy cage Filled with painful rage Great depression Little Self-obsession And Hurtful emotions Clearly feels Like oppression Harsh aggression Without confession Wanted to mention Tell a suggestion For all I know, my beauty is not of such a great exception
