Notes About The Poem

Black Swan Effect

Black swan effect, crisis precipitates
Leaving the faint of heart, totally wrecked
Save brave hearts, who in stillness meditate
Our fall into the abyss, goes unchecked

All that matters now, is we stand erect
Boldly facing, whatever be our fate
Theory of randomness, not perfect
Black swan effect, crisis precipitates

Knowing time and tide, for no man does wait
Through adversity we gain self-respect 
Prayer steeling resolve, till storm abates
Leaving the faint of heart, totally wrecked

Upon earth, as both subject and object
Most succumb to desires; ego borne bait
We are not mind body; fact who’d suspect
Save brave hearts, who in stillness meditate

Deep dark fear, our confidence decimates
Self-imposed delusion, our soul infects
Dwelling in self-pity and thoughts unchaste 
Our fall into the abyss, goes unchecked

Oh hermit, ceasing grasping, now connect 
To the pulse of love, joyfully gyrate
Let this world of transience have no affect
With fortitude and patience, just out-wait
Black swan effect
