Confronting Shadows

Why should we tread alone?
Come, let's walk together.
Each path is peril-prone.
We face stormy weather.

Shouldn't we be aware
Of our powers and flaws
Shouldn't each one's welfare
Be conscientious cause

Shouldn't our arrogance
Selfishness and detest
Give way to elegance
And make ourselves blessed

Our future is unknown.
Let's not be in tether.
Why should we tread alone?
Come, let's walk together.
