The poem of Al-Ahmad reflects the reality of Iraqi people who bear the sorrows, which are the results of the madness of the ruling authority and the ignorance of the contemporary world. These tragedies reached al-Ahmad, sent him to the borders, obliged him to live as an immigrant and caused his death in a stranger country. Al-Ahmad left a divan (a collection of poems) which is centered on three themes, Country, Exile, and Tragedy and all these have penetrated into his poetic collection in a way it is impossible to separate each from the others. In the country part, he stands to search some remaining of the country and himself, without neglecting a moment even in a fogy atmosphere. In the exile part, he draws the road map to the grave in order to deal with the conflicts of yesterday and today, feeling successive pain, though, he struggles to overlook at the country. In the tragedy part, however, everything conspires to kill the poet, namely, he and the sorrows, poverty, illness, lack of beloved friends, exile, and loneliness lead to his death in exile.
