Daily (Don Quixote–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

O Lord of knights and networks,

   behold your servant,

   armed with a password instead of a spear,

   riding a modest device instead of a steed.

Grant that I may pursue justice and mercy online

   with all the noble folly of a true caballero—

   defending the weak from scammers and trolls,

   challenging giants that are not merely windmills,

   but real engines of deceit and theft.

Yet, temper my zeal with Sancho’s common sense,

   so I do not mistake every pop‑up for a dragon,

   every disagreement for a mortal feud,

   every glittering ad for a lady in distress.

Guard my poor castle of data

   from dark enchanters who would plunder it;

   let my codes be stout,

   my habits steady,

  my judgment not entirely divorced from reality.

   

And when I fall, as I surely shall,

   into some comic mishap of clicking,

   grant me the grace to rise laughing,

   to learn wiser chivalry,

   and to steward this digital world

   with a heart both brave and gently corrected.
