Never Leave the Gate Ajar

B-eware of the devil, 
E-very door must be closed; 
L-ike a roaring lion he roams, looking for prey he likes most. 

P-adlock the main opening 
O-f your mind and your heart; 
N-ever let the evil enter 
T-o tear your soul apart. 
E-very hour you must be alert, 
N-ever lose the spiritual war; 
O-r you'll be surely condemned, 
S-o never leave the gate 
A-jar.
