Those who stand with folded hands, are each other's very undoing.

This couplet paints a stark picture. It speaks of those who stand together, perhaps with folded hands, signifying humility or a shared stance. Yet, paradoxically, it suggests they are each other's undoing, or 'bane'. It's a reminder that outward appearances can be deceiving. Even when people seem united or submissive, their actions, or perhaps their collective inaction, can lead to mutual harm or downfall. It highlights the subtle ways we might undermine each other, even without explicit conflict, creating a silent destruction from within a group or relationship.
