[Verse 1]
When the unexpected hits your door
Black Swan events you can't ignore
Taleb wrote the book in two-thousand-seven
Showed us how rare events change heaven
Then Antifragile came along
Teaching systems to grow strong
From the chaos and the pain
Making weakness into gain
[Chorus]
Read the guides, know the way
Black Swan planning saves the day
ISO twenty-two-three-oh-one
NIST eight-hundred-thirty-four, we're not done
BCI guidelines in your hand
Help your business make a stand
When the storm clouds gather near
These resources make it clear
[Verse 2]
Gray Rhino charges straight ahead
Wucker warns of threats we dread
Highly probable impact's high
But we ignore them, wonder why
Twenty-sixteen brought us the word
For the dangers we've all heard
Coming fast but we don't see
Till they're our reality
[Chorus]
Read the guides, know the way
Black Swan planning saves the day
ISO twenty-two-three-oh-one
NIST eight-hundred-thirty-four, we're not done
BCI guidelines in your hand
Help your business make a stand
When the storm clouds gather near
These resources make it clear
[Bridge]
Zolli and Healy wrote it true
Resilience pulls us right on through
Why things bounce back from the fall
Twenty-twelve explained it all
Federal systems need their plan
Contingency guides help where they can
Revision one will show the way
To keep your data safe today
[Verse 3]
Security and resilience combined
Management systems by design
Current edition holds the key
BCI shows us how to be
Ready for what's coming next
Every standard, every text
Build your library complete
Make your planning obsolete
[Chorus]
Read the guides, know the way
Black Swan planning saves the day
ISO twenty-two-three-oh-one
NIST eight-hundred-thirty-four, we're not done
BCI guidelines in your hand
Help your business make a stand
When the storm clouds gather near
These resources make it clear
[Outro]
From the Black Swan to the Gray
These six sources light the way
Build your knowledge, build it right
Turn your darkness into light
