စိတ္ႀကီး၀င္ေနတဲ့ အမွားတစ္ခု (A Conceited Mistake)

Once upon a time there was a mistake
တစ္ရံေရာအခါက အမွားတစ္ခုရွိသတဲ့
So silly so small
အလြန္မုိက္မဲ အလြန္ေသးငယ္သမုိ႔
That on one would even have noticed it
ဘယ္သူမွ သူ႔ကုိ သတိမျပဳမိၾကတဲ့အထိပဲ

It couldn't bear
သူ႔ကုိယ္သူျမင္ဖုိ႔ သူ႔အသံ သူၾကားဖုိ႔
To see itself to hear of itself
သူ မစြမ္းႏုိင္ရွာဘူး


It invented all manner of things
အမွန္စင္စစ္ သူမရွိဘူးဆုိတာ
Just to prove
သက္ေသျပ႐ုံသက္သက္
That it didn't really exist
အရာရာအမ်ဳိးမ်ဳိးကုိ သူတီထြင္လုိက္သတဲ့

It invented space
ဟင္းလင္းျပင္ကုိ သူတီထြင္လုိက္သတဲ့
To put its proof in
သူ႔သက္ေသျပခ်က္ေတြ သြတ္သြင္းဖုိ႔
And time to keep its proofs
ၿပီး .. သူ႔သက္ေသျပခ်က္ေတြ ထိန္းသိမ္းဖုိ႔ အခ်ိန္ရယ္
And the world to see its proofs
သူ႔သက္ေသျပခ်က္ေတြျမင္ႏုိင္ဖုိ႔ ကမၻာရယ္

All it invented
သူ႔တီထြင္မႈဟာ
Was not so silly
မေပါ့ပ်က္လွဘူး
Nor so small
မေသးငယ္လွဘူး
But was of course mistaken
ဒါေပမယ့္ မွားတာပါပဲ

Could it have been otherwise.
တျခားေကာ ဘာျဖစ္ႏုိင္ဦးမွာလဲ။
