Kanaka Lata Soren Poem
Money
A single metal penny or a piece of paper
I am countable with infinite power
I am ambiguous whether I can buy happiness
I can buy everything that makes one’s comfort
A share of mine can ease the house chores
A piece of mine can buy the joy of a toddler
A bit of mine can buy a rose for a lover
A part of mine can help to fly and dive
I disclose truth of people when I leave your side
With me you are powerful otherwise you’re fragile
I have many forms of luxury
that can make someone smile
Who says I can’t buy happiness
I am a moderator to buy forms of joy
Instead I can’t buy love with sorts of attitude of my possessor
I am that which you want to keep safe
I am the breaker and also ligature
That makes your friends and foes
I am a blessing to the poor
I can fill the palate of a hunger
I can smack a nation into dust
I can cover a body with cloth
With me you can get all articles
Without me you are nonentity in the world.

Kanaka Lata Soren Poem
Oh! Let me go there
Far from the blowing horns
And chimneys vomiting streams of smokes
Away from the forenoon smoky sun
And the nights that never worn out for long
Oh! Someone take me away
From the barren land with chopped trunks
I can’t pretend to be blind any more
Where rain is an inexorable illusion
Still thirsty throats seek salvation
Oh! Let me go there
Away from mud cracks of paddy fields
Away from the grown poisoned leaves
Off the foamy river banks
Away from dusty smoky air
Oh! Where can I find that place?
Where birds welcome morning sun rays
The green canopy gives me shade
Where I don’t have to buy water
No boundaries for me to wander
Where I can breath deep inside
And I ought to live my life

Kanaka Lata Soren Poem
Before the sun sets
A million miles to go
Before my eyes are closed
I just learned how to dream
And now I got my wings
Lots of desires are winking in mind
Hopes are glowing like stars in night
A million miles to go
Before my eyes are closed
I just learned how to walk
And now I got my own floor
No chain,no bond to strangle
I am free to burn like the flare
A million miles to go
Before my eyes are closed
I just learned what to hold
And I have goals to catch
I learned to let go and hold on the best
I will touch the reality
when my dreams become my fate

Kanaka Lata Soren Poem
Waking up before the sun kisses
Chirping of birds becomes brushed aside
Putting glasses to see better
With unpolished shoes I ride over
With an old beg of mine
Keeping some old books inside
The rusted passage let me in
I walk through a road edged with topiary
as if golden hedges welcome me
The old corridor embraces my stomping footsteps
Holding a chalk to create and defend
I march into battle ground cum temple of knowledge
Keeping all agonies behind the doorway
A warrior devotes to serve the future
An oath to fire up extinguishing lamps
And to nourish the saplings till they grow
Time rushes with greying hairs and vivid memories
But the grown up trees reminds me to keep going

Kanaka Lata Soren Poem
The more I blow the far it goes
No direction, no aim it just blows far away
It dries but does not die
It paves a way to propagate new lives
It shines in sun so bright and bold
It will navigate its own sail in storm
When adult it mesmerizes the eyes
But when it gets old the glory still be held
It transits from sunny rays to starry lights
Sunny petals become ball of snow white
The wind takes it away far from your sight
You may think it has vanished
But my friend it sprouts somewhere else
You may drift away in the roller coaster of life
Without steering you will sail
Without compass you will navigate
But finally you will be at your destined place
