Poets are the eyes, ears and voices of the societies in which they live and the volunteer soldiers who are concerned about their troubles. That is why it has been said that "A nation whose poets do not cry out / Is like an orphaned child whose lovers have been grounded". One of these volunteer soldiers is the Odd Poet Cemâl Kocabaş. Kocabaş is a poet who expressed the troubles of many social layers such as the society, environment, friends, friends, family in his poems and took their troubles as his own. He was orphaned at a young age and with the responsibility of being the eldest child of his family, he was only able to complete his primary school education due to the education of his siblings and the family's sustenance, and despite this, with a God-given talent, he never stopped expressing these troubles for a moment. With the responsibility of a poet, he continued to deal with these issues every day. It seems that we will be able to witness many more similar works as long as he is in this determination and effort. Hoping that these desires and wishes will be realized...
