Where the game is still the same

in the Neighbourhood (here)

the 11 of 12 given words:

sound violins, frets protest, broken keeping 

bridge, strings, ruins, belly, brittle, 

Gone were the days
Of fun and laughter

Of sounds of good music

Of melodious violins

Gone were the feelings
Of wanting to be an adult

Of frets tumbles and trauma
To protest and do adult things

And get rewarded

Gone were the backyard
That witnessed broken bones
Of tears of childhood experience
And the triumph of keeping
Boyhood strength that bridged

hidden talents

Gone were the neighborhood
Whose kids have grown
And flew to new nests

Some with no strings attached

Gone were the houses
Close to your heart

Now in ruins
To make way for developers
To enrich their belly 
But we still witness
The antics of those vying
For higher office where

brittle rivalries were rampant

Gone were the players of old
Replaced by new ones
Where the game is still the same

Only the players have changed
