Some Clarifications - a carp in Chinese legend could jump the dragon gate and become a dragon.
Explaination - the poem is about a scholar asking why he could never become successful.  The part about the wine running out shows his outcome in a way, or another way of looking it be that even the wine is laughing at his failure.

What changed, dear Rose?
Why have you faded?

The setting is in ancient China, this should help with the visualization of the poem.

This earth was never given to us for building economics and trade policies, it was definitely not gifted for dividing us in borders or for politics. We have messed up big time, we did everything we were not suppose to and maybe the pandora box that we talk about is all of this.

Such beautiful places, people, minds, art. All of which is now unexplored, unknown. It was never suppose to be like this. We're cursed, cursed with limited time and no knowledge of what our purpose is. We made a commodity and we made it our need. When the need was to fall in love, to be wise, to nurture art and to grow with it. Now we need to be saved from something which is our own created monster.

Silver lining is, in all this we still have magic to save us in the end like hope was in the pandora box.

To hope, to magic and to making this world a better place.
