Back To Black Poem by michael spangenberg

2016 Election night at 6pm ET, smilingStocks
An unknown US poet was prophesying
Mr. Trump's surprising election victory
Trump had by then not yet won Michigan, North Carolina
Critical swing state Florida, let alone bell-weather Ohio
The polls, the analysts, the financial markets
Were still expecting a grand slam for Mrs. Clinton.

Trump's Victoria's secret's considered by
Wall Street traders as a Black Swan Event
An event or occurrence deviating beyond
What is normally expected of a situation
Like the 2008 financial crisis, Trump's
Election is a BSE, inadvertently coinciding
But not to be confused, with BullShit Events
Is typically random - impossible to predict
Yet it has catastrophic ramifications.

For eight long years the White House
Was occupied by a Black-skinned US President
The shocking Black swan event will replace
Him by a Black-hearted, bad tempered man
It seems we are black at back again
To be or not to be - do be do be do
Black swan, Black-skin, Black heart
Question is which one is worse.

Footnote - Referencing to the poem Hurrah! Trump has won
By Smiling Stocks online published in 3 US poetry Platforms
At the early evening of November 8,2016. Fortunately
The Wall ST. poet hedged his bets, he voted on Hillary Clinton
And betted a million dollars on Donald Trump, the outcome broke
His poetic heart, but made the prosaic gambler multi-millionaire.
