အ႐ႈံး

ဘဝမွာ
အႏိုင္မရရင္ရွိေစ
သေရပြဲေတာ့ျဖစ္ခ်င္ၾက
ဂ်ဳိးလူးဝစ္ကေျပာဘူးတယ္
သူ႐ႈံးခဲ႔တဲ႔႔ပြဲေတြဆို
အမွတ္မရခ်င္ေတာ့ဘူးတဲ႔။

ေျမြအေရခြံလဲတဲ့အခါ
နာက်င္ရတဲ့ေဝဒနာ
ေျမြသာသိသမို႔
အေရခြံရွိတဲ့ေနရာ
ေျမြမရွိႏိုင္ေတာ့ပါ။

ဒုကၡေတြနဲ႔ ေရာျပြန္းေနတဲ႔
ခ်ာလီခ်က္ပလင္ရဲ႕ဟာသ
အူနာေအာင္ရယ္ရသလို
ရင္နင့္ေအာင္လဲ ခံစားရေပါ႔။

ပင္လယ္ကို အေရာက္သြားမယ္ ဆိုကာမွ
ခ႐ုေကာက္ဖို႔ သက္သက္လားတဲ႔
ေမးရက္ၾကတာ သဘာဝက်ပါတယ္။

L O S E

In life
May be I could not win
I want it to draw.
Joe Lewis said once,
He never wants to remember
About his losing game.

When the snake changed its skin,
How it gets painful cast
That only snake could know.
So will not resides again
Where it old skin remained.

All around in trouble of
Charlie Chaplin humoring,
Make us to heartfelt laugh
And sadly feeling in emotion.

Though I declared as I go to sea,
People asked if only to quest for snail;
No wonder whether they could be queries.
