Chamkhar's Lament

Old town of Chamkhar, beneath the white castle’s gaze,�Once proud, once bright, where power held its days.
But silence now steals the streets, as time unravels slow,�And the bustling heart of Bumthaps fades like autumn’s glow.

They say Chamkhar must scatter, its roots pulled from the ground,�To Jalikhar, Gonhkhar, where new homes will be found.�Yet what of the tears, the echoes of the past?�The shops fall in sorrow, as memories hold fast.

Once the jewel of valleys, now crumbling to dust,�Dispersed like the ashes of dreams lost in the gust.�The people weep quietly, as bricks and wood fall,�Their laughter and stories, once shared by all.

In Dekiling, in Jakar, the future may rise,�But the heart of Chamkhar sinks beneath the skies.�For no new town, no new place can ever reclaim,�The spirit of Chamkhar, or its once-glorious flame.

A town born of beauty, now slipping away,�As the winds carry whispers of a forgotten day.�And though the shops vanish, and streets disappear,�Chamkhar’s sorrow will linger, forever held dear.

When Dharma intertwines with politics, its pure blessings gently fade away.
