We are put in the middle of a strong war,

Faced with a test of what we are living for.

We have the yetzer harah both in front and behind,

Our goal is to have d'veykus on our minds!

The Ramchal promises to be our coach,

He takes us through a step-by-step approach.

Learning mussar requires introspection,

Mesillas Yesharim sets us off in the right direction!

This is the intro to the Path of the Upright,

Studying mussar gives us insight.

The Ramchal says he teaches nothing new,

But we might forget, so we must constantly review.

The Chafetz Chaim stresses the importance of going to shul,

Our tefillah will be answered in full.

There is good to be gained,

just by answering amen!

The yetzer hara promises a person many years,

But it is only a matter of time before those disappear.

Guard your ears, mouth, and eyes,

Those who listen to rebuke are counted among the wise.

Because of the theft a person commits,

We won't save him if he falls into a pit.

If we all work to on being better,

The Torah won't lack even one letter!

Without fear, there's no wisdom, and without wisdom, there's no fear.

Words of lashon hara makes our torah disappear.

Rabbi Yochanan sold his field,

For the Torah his assets would yield.

To set yourself apart,

Have clean hands and a pure heart.

One that hits his friend in secret will be cursed,

Theft is bad but words are worse!
