Song/Poem still not sure which

Note: This is an unfinished and confused something. Any comments would be helpful. And Vala, the emotions are several months old so you need not worry.

Impractical

The vinyl is torn, the imaginery picture gone

And behind it lies grey made up of black and white

It is the black and white that defines my world

That shapes my choices, that slowly strangles me

It strangles me with the memories of a rainbow

And the sounds of a protest that I am not a part of

It strangles me with the happiness that has withdrawn to a memory

An e-mail, a phone call, a snatch of weekend bliss that comes so rarely

I just want the past without the present

The connection without the compromise

I want is back, I want it all back

And so it goes, the torn vinyl lost to the wind

They call it change, they say it is good

But they offer nothing from their stable island

To save those tossed by the stormy sea

We know they lie in their words and on their couches

It tears the bleeding wound, heightening the despair

We fear the sea that holds our future

We fear the isles of grave submission

We were once fighters, we fight on still

Not moving forwards but standing still
