When something happens unexpected, bang, out of the blue
Events that statisticians call outliers, or black swans
Events that beggar precedent, revealing something new
Something growing there unnoticed, suddenly it dawns
When world events are true black swans they alter history’s course
As though their happenings were needed, forcing major change
Experiencing of such events disturbs us at our source
We then are moved to join in actions past our normal range
The Trump election fits the mold of black-swan happenings
Republicans, most fall in line, ramrodding Trump’s appointments
To hell with conflicts, laws, traditions, they’ll approve all things
Whatever Trump will dictate, bowing down to Trump’s anointment
Meanwhile the Dems are organizing up and down each State
They’re shedding their complacencies, connecting with their roots
This black swan has awakened them to take charge of their fate
And history will record that Dems Trumpism did refute
