Sami Audal The poet for the Oppressed ones:
Sami was an honest poet of the oppressed. If Qanie was a poet of the oppressed in rural Kurdistan, then Sami was a poet of the oppressed in the city through his poverty and sadness, he has written emotional poems and painted one painting after another of tender poetry. In a poem, he talks about his life of poverty and oppression.
Throughout his poem, the poet expresses the unpleasant aspects of the life of the poor in his own name, but without finding a solution and telling us what the poor should do to get rid of this life and reach happiness.
If we want to know Sami Audal better, we can know him from the perspective of his famous political poem My Heart and consider him a poet of the oppressed.
Because he was with the Communist Party and was an active member, whose slogan is (a free country and a happy people). Because happiness is struggled for so that the nation reaches it. Independence is struggled for and requires sacrifice. He has introduced some new symbols and concepts into the literature of class struggle. In doing so, he has laid a solid stone in the foundation of Kurdish revolutionary literature since the 1940s.
Finally, in 1983, a collection of poems by Sami Audal was published by the Secretariat of Culture and Youth by supervision of Sarhad Abdullah.[1]
