Consider the Weakest Link

Consider the potential of the weakest link, For appearances can be utterly deceiving Physical prowess can skew how we think. The well-toned body can fail on the brink While a good mind for strategy is achieving, Consider the potential of the weakest link. When the chips are hidden in the klink, The impending score beyond our believing Physical prowess can skew how we think. Change can happen faster than a blink With strategic decisions worth receiving, Consider the potential of the weakest link. Good form supersedes fashion, I think, Though often considered interweaving Physical prowess can skew how we think. Causing us from winning to utterly shrink From ultimate victory we were conceiving, Consider the potential of the weakest link Physical prowess can skew how we think. written July 2, 2021

I echo David's sentiment... we all have weaknesses we must be aware of to limit the harm they may do. Have a great day my friend.

Excellent Milton, a chain is only as strong as the weakest link, indeed a human body always has an Achilles heel, it’s up to our brain to find a way to overcome brawn, as many of history’s great generals have outsmarted superior forces, you make us stop and think, to assess the situation at hand, such a well crafted write, cheers David
