The school comes alive once more as the students return
to work towards fulfilling their goal with a purpose to learn
to choose a career path that makes their dreams come real
to embrace the curriculum with enthusiasm and zeal
when called all together to assemble as one family in the hall
the address of the principal you can hear when a pin fall
who clearly outlines the safety rules for everyone to follow
that no one will have any reason to live with regret tomorrow
every child is important as the weakest link of a chain
for the reason of attendance is that knowledge be their gain
The role of the teacher is a sacred bond for every student to see
who walk alongside the students to ensure what it means to be free
the student must see through the teacher's eye whatever being thought
that the twist of the future will be shaped by everything brought
As below, and
So on top
And so it seems
The whole has got
To give its soul
Over to, ego and control;
For it is the team
That is the biggest fink,
And for the many
It would seem
The individual, is
The weakest link.
Every day it just gets more and more embarrassing, smh. The sad part about it is, the grass was gray (dead and withered) the first time, yet somehow people still believed gray grass was gonna somehow turn green the second time around. Truth be told, it is far worst. We are in Total Disarray! Like for real, how many signs of stupidity can you ignore? Smh. We really are the Weakest Link and the Dumbest Link. Barnum & Bailey at its finest.
With that being said, keep your seat belt buckled, cause every day we going for a ride.
And every day is like a malfunctioned Waymo car, running wild and loose with no order, no structure and no sense of direction.
All I can say is wheww chile! When this circus show comes to an end, there’s going to be sooo much to do and undo… like literally, SO MUCH!
Mister President it's time to make the world a better place
You must treat the people fairly regardless of religion or race
When your time on earth ends what legacy will you leave
Speak the truth it's a-lot easier than trying to decieve
You have the ability to make things better for all mankind
Constant chaos makes nobodies life easier, you stii have time
Trying to stamp out the bad guys around the world never ends
You can make everyones life better by starting a new trend
Ideas are out there from both the left and the right
You have the tools to fix America let's end the plight
Making America great is achieved when we can all stand tall
We are as strong as our weakest link,'prosperity for all
Life is a series of moments
None of which the same
Appreciate them for what they're worth
You wont get them back again
Utilize your opportunities
To maximize your gains
Sometimes things come easy
While at others they are strained
Bask in the moment
Each and every one
Brandish thy glory like a weapon
Because the fight is never done
Always give 100 percent
Like the weakest link in a chain
Consistence and persistence
Are necessary to maintain
So always bask in every moment
Never take these times in vain
What if we have came as far as we can
So now we are trying to integrate
End of night leaving our eyes on a pad
Could you teach A.I. to be bad
Would it know the difference
See we worry about technology
but the weakest link
Is humanity
What dreams would A.I. dream
A byte to eat at edge of a digital stream
Counting down from infinity just to get to sleep
Counting every shoop
Weight that does knot compute
Err
The world could use more people like Nicholas Winton
Living to the age of one-hundred-six is amazing, but what he did to save hundreds of children from certain death will leave you stunned
A kind compassionate man from England and a stockbroker by trade
As Hitler and his war machine just before the start of world war two were about to start their raids
In Prague a large group of families had gathered in a large campo Winton with the aid of refugee workers was able to get six hundred children to foster families in Great Britain, truly a champ
Not only did he get them out but raised the money to make it happen
To accomplish such a feat a holiday should be named after him to salute what he had done
We should raise our glasses to the people that go out of their way to perform good deeds
We are only as good as our weakest link, let us all reach out to the people in need
I am sure that hundreds of relatives of the children Nicholas saved will do their part to make our world better
Let,'s all make the effort, we can all do it together
Chains are only as strong as the weakest link. We are all connected.
Chains
By Michelle Morris
16/10/2020
Chains have links
Interconnected to be stronger;
Chains can be broken
When links weaken over trauma...
Society has links
From family to friends,
Breaking everywhere
By souls hurting without amends...
A chain of any kind is as strong
As its weakest link,
And can only survive when of one
Another we do think...
Strength of character, integrity,
Compassion and kindness
Is the best we can wish for
The chains that eternally bind us...

Reflect on this proverb, oh worthy hermit
'A chain is only as strong as its weakest link'
So let us look deep within the core of our being
To discern the cause why time and again we sink
Bemused by myriad illusions our mind is hypnotised
Flitting about unsatiated between objects of desire
But fleeting moments of joy are followed by pain
Elusive seems eternal bliss for which we aspire
The root cause of suffering then is ignorance
For we flounder about knowing not who we are
In bondage to feral instinct, we discern not the truth
From God’s domain of love and light, we’ve drifted afar
With this recognition, once we shift into tranquil silence
The chinks in our armour are automatically repaired
Divine aligned, love drenched soul stands erect
Mind, body and soul finally with God paired

A chain is as strong as its weakest link ~
Let’s be mindful then of fear forms we think
07-January-2023
I struggle every day with trying to find myself,
And when I think I got it figured out,
My head begins to cloud with doubt
Pushing the negative feelings aside
Trying to be sunshine and daisies,
This life has enough storm clouds already
Keeping the faith,
Even when the rocks come tumbling down
Putting on my bravest face,
Somewhere in there I know everything is going to be ok
We all break,
We all bend
We all fall to the depths,
Just to come back again
We all ask why?
We all cry
We all know there’s hope left to survive
It's that moment when people ask if you’re ok,
But you fight with your insides,
Afraid you’ll break
You want to say no,
But you don’t want to feel like you’re going on and on
You don’t want your glass to be half-empty
You want yours to stay full
You sometimes play the cards as the weakest link,
But you know there will come a day,
When you get dealt the better hand
Till then you try to keep your head held high,
Knowing you got friends and family by your side~
A chain is as strong as its weakest link, they say*
And with that, I all-heartedly have to agree
For that, it is crucial us to make an effort:
"Loving each other" to be our sacred decree!

* William James, American philosopher, 1842-1910
Have we ever sensed space flicker
or bliss gridlines become thicker,
soma nectar gently dripping,
elixir divine, nodes sipping,
as heightened attention softens,
that our aura brightly glistens,
with all that’s false, falling away,
bliss throbbing within, night and day,
for if not dear hearts, please rethink,
where in form lies our weakest link?

It's not without reason for high and low tides.
240,000 miles away, the moon and seas conspire.
Each of them has a mission to which they've been assigned.
It would be a chaotic world if they stepped out of line.
And I can't imagine how we the world would be realigned.
There is total beauty in the way we have been designed.
Inside and invisible is where we reside.
It's a given, and we never had to decide;
Leaving no room for boasting; no need for pride.
Inside may be our 'divine space', but our mission is outside.
We are alive to take our place, or we may choose to hide.
But fulfilling our life's purpose is the thing that really satisfies.
Something or someone has told us to remain inside or to step aside.
We may think we are the weakest link, but we are better than we realize.
Notwithstanding, we must not abide or listen to any who chooses to criticize.
We were not created here for the ride, but made for more; born to thrive.
And as we tune in to God's frequencies, we witness the unveiling of our meaning and our mission, and discover 'the what, the how, and the why'.

Once freedom vanishes down the broader way
And shoulders start to droop, sore backs are sure to pay
Once fingers grip and dig, then lust for a stronger hold
Hearts tend to falter and “ The Titled” become prudish and bold
Weakness welcomes the pride of a wicked, controlling state
Men strive to mask the policies, hiding conditions they already hate
Standing to yield to corruption with a hand that salutes the brow
Risking their future to tow the line, and only if the governor allows
Once it’s over and done, freedom will never again revive
It's like a mean bronco bucking high, many find it hard to ride
Once it’s over and done and a great country looks back on the vote
Memories coveted from another time when people weren’t ordered to cope
Words spoken by the insane yet, passing over with hardly a wink
The trainer repeats his message, the chain breaks at the weakest link
Lies and deceit are sure to wear and unravel like a ball of twine
But the damage is done, all is lost, given over to a reprobate mind
