Poet Abhijit Payeng paints the stark social reality emerging out of guns and bullets in his poem "Kinsuna Yubnang".He has scripted on Ligang festivals,romanticism as well as facts of the social whole.While Bhaigeswar Pogag's poems are best known for his revolutionary appeal for unity and consciousness to get out the present clumsy atmosphere.One can see in his poem how betrayal and exploitation of Mising society must be dealt with by standing unitedly and firmly.Pogag also calls for writing through his poem "No Attoka" ,which shows the poet's love for one's language and culture.
