"Sign of the Times"

sign of the times
revered words archived
unwritten history glossed
generations changing arranging
trying the current trendy trends
tomorrows voluptuous headlines
printed on plain white paper
all words have been used and are old
but, all stories have not been told
makepiece masterpiece play today
waiting in the wings for homage
dancing fast figures on a stage
bowing to circumstance
their candles in the dark
showing their flickering words
where history mixes
with the sign of the times
and wrinkled fingers
hold the hands of the clock
