Weather and Rust

Understanding does not make one knowledgeable, of the issue that’s at hand
But rather brings you a little closer
	To the ledge on which they stand

Use no force - in words nor tone
For the ground on which they trek, can tumble
	With the weight of a single stone

Standing at the bottom - start slow - Work your way up
And know they are immobile
	Alive - but stuck

Trapped within their minds, along with their thoughts
A cure for that isn’t something,
	That can simply be bought

It will take time, years if it must
But if left to weather the storm on our own - 
	Sooner or later, we all will rust
