What I See Poem by Mahfooz Ali

I write what I see,
I believe a poet is the eyes to the world,
and so a lot of what I write tends
toward sadness and tragedy.
The stories I see in life are mostly sad and often depressing,
but don't be fooled.
I also see a lot of hope and beauty.
The human soul is magnificent to me,
and when I see true strength, and poetry,
in the human experience.
I tend to document it more using my other artistic mediums.
Because of this, realize that my poetry captures
a lot of the darker side of human existence.
I believe in a personal, amazing almighty Allah,
and want to be heard when I say with all conviction.
There is always the hope for a good ending through Almighty Allah. You just have to reach out and accept it,
and I hope you all will do.
It's certainly changed my life. Believe me........
