Being Black has not been a Black Tie affair
Not a popular topic about which to tweet,
Disasters can happen any day of the week
"Englistically", Black is bad and depicts a troubled time,
Unless it is a reflection of the Bottom Line.
Was it really a misnomer
To call April 14, 1935 Black Sunday
When a dust storm covered parts of Texas and Oklahoma?
Shock waves disrupted Wall Street’s heaven
n the Dow plummeted 508 points
On Black Monday, October 19, 1987.
Financial ruin is accompanied by misery
October 29, 1929 was Black Tuesday,
The most famous stock crash in U. S. History.
How low can the value of the Pound sank?
September 16, 1992 was Black Wednesday,
The Day that Soros broke the British Bank.
Black Thursday was October 24, 1929.
ellers traded 13,000,000 shares on NYSE,
The precursor of "hard times in twenty-nine".
The worst fires in Australian History, it is said
Occurred on Black Saturday, February 7, 2009,
And left 173 people dead.
November 25, 1966 was the first Black Friday.*

As the biggest day for the business bottom line.
Society’s perception of Black is a thing of despair
Being Black is not a Black Tie affair.
The Black Days of the Week
Color the People & History of which I speak!
Except for the Bottom Line,
Black denotes a trying time.
*The nation's biggest spending day, the Friday after Thanksgiving of each year.
