"TOP FLIGHT SECURITY OF THE WORLD CRAIG!!!!!!!"- Friday After Next

Peace! I just want to give a quick shout out to the Gods in Power Born, my brothers, who always make sure that the Earth is safe and secure. When I first came around, the level of security consciousness and concern was a bit of an adjustment, as I was used to doing my own thing, without regard to what anyone said or thought, no matter the time of evening or place. I was like, "Damn, I already have a physical father!" It took me a while to start calling when I got home, alerting my god specifically of my whereabouts, and so forth. I used to despise the concept of "checking in," and thought of it as losing some form of independence.

Then in February 2005 I got mugged walking home from work one night and realized that with all my positivity and concern, the world was not a rose garden and I had to be more prepared and conscious of my moves, cuz someone can always be watching you. This mofo followed me from the job till I was about 2 blocks away from my rest on a busy street mind you, ran up on me, and snatched my purse! Thankfully, dude didn't pull a gun out, but I was still shook, and was paranoid for a good while afterward. I knew someone was walking behind me and I looked back to let him know I saw him, but people always walked behind me. I had a thought to stop in a funeral to shake this dude, but I didn't follow through. I thought I'd be safe at the busy street.

I am now fortunate to actually work with several of the gods and I enjoy their building, laughter (the gods are FUNNY!), and appreciate their level of concern when leaving the gig, making sure that I am okay, and at times staying late with me or calling to make sure I made it to the rest safely. It is part of the black man's duty to protect the Black woman, and we have gotten so far from that as a people, that when God attempts to do so, it is foreign, and depending on your orientation to life (as I myself, did not grow up with a father in the home and didn't personally bare witness to this dynamic)you may reject it. But I have learned to embrace it, as the proper activation of culture can come in time. So PEACE to all of the Gods of Power Born, specifically the Gods I work with (I Majestic Allah, Knowledge Build Allah, Sincere Master Allah, and Aru Self Allah) for always lookin' out for your sista and having me covered on all sides!

Peace, Love and Appreciation to My Brothers!

I Medina Peaceful Earth
