George Arkar Poems

He saw the Four Sights
He realised all beings were trapped and
lost in Samsara. And so,
he tried to free from it.
...

Just to fly a flag at half-mast
and lay a mourning wreath
do not disturb my morning
Watching common misconceptions
...

i listen
to songs at very high volume
and sing
along with 'em
...

Like a creeper
Having its target twisted and tied
Does it make us
Stop our feet from walking?
...

To fully bloom, flowers need
The support of strong roots...dear.

If YOU keep groaning
...

For I can't leave it behind, thinking: Such a lovely country!
I have to love it at risk to my own life, holding folk medicines.
...

မစွန့်နိုင်တော့လည်း 'ချစ်စရာနိုင်ငံတော်ကြီးပါကွာ' တွေးပြီး
ဆေးမြီးတိုကလေးတွေကိုင်ကာ စွန့်စွန့်စားစား ချစ်ရတယ်။
...

ဖိနပ်ကျွဲတစ်ဖက်နွားတစ်ဖက်နဲ့
ကျနော် ထိုင်နေတယ်။

အို အဖဘုရားသခင် စောင်မတော်မူပါ
...

We of different religions are taught
above us are the Gods.

Show mercy if you all are there
...

Like the stupid jackdaw in the fable
Thinking he can hide his true character just by dressing
In peacock feathers
Has tried our old tough to conceal his claws
...
