What Happens Poem by Sonam Wangchuk

When the music stops and wine sobers
And a static cold bed of refuge comforts

When friends part ways and lovers change hearts
And the illusion forever disappears

When laws become tools for the mighty
And freedom just a word for the common

When a coin shows only one face
And the adverse odds dictate

When the truth today becomes the lies of history
And even scars and memories fade

When dreams fall apart in the wake of reality
And locked in shackles of the future

When time alone can reveal the self
And the ruins of a broken man

Alas! The symphony of men
Akin to all, lies a single destiny
