Zen บทกวี 157

จรรยาไม่ใช่เป็นบูมเมอแรง มันเหมือนข้อความในขวดที่ถูกโยนลงทะเล

Jan-yah mâi-châi bpen boom-meu-raeng. Man mĕuan khâw-khwahm nai khùat thêe thòok yon long thá-lay.

Morals not be boomerang. They like message in bottle that has-been tossed down sea.

Values aren’t a boomerang. They are more like a message in a bottle tossed into the sea.
