Daily (Muhammad Ali–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Caveat emptier: This post was drafted with help from an AI assistant (Perplexity)— but ideated and edited extensively by the human, Bill Acton

Lord,
you made me pretty,
you made me bold,
and you taught me
not to stay quiet
when something’s wrong.

Now the fight’s on a different canvas—
a bright little screen—
and I need you in my corner.

Help me float
like a butterfly
past the bait and the lies,
and sting like a bee
when I see injustice
and deceit online.

Let my jabs be truth,
not cheap shots.

Protect me from the rope‑a‑dope
of endless arguments—
threads that go nowhere,
comments that only bruise
and never heal.

Give me the sense to step back
before I swing at every troll
that calls my name.

Guard my name,

my record,
my people
from con artists
who throw punches
with phishing emails,
fake charities,
and stolen identities.

Teach me to train
for the digital fight:
strong passwords,
smart checks,
backups in my corner
like loyal trainers.

And when the final bell rings
on each day,
may the scorecards show
I used my mouth, my wit,
and my platform
to protect the vulnerable,
to speak against what’s wrong,

and to fight
for the kind of world
where nobody has to
take a hit alone.
