DL: Letter To My Robbers

Several days ago me and my beloved friend and our beloved WMIP member C. Cann were robbed in Nashville, TN. I'm writing this b/c they have my pictures, my music, my website urls, and probably know who i am by now. So listen up guys...

To the four dressed in black that came up to my car this past Sunday night, held a gun to me and my friend, and demanded our wallets, then phones...forgiven.

To the two unknown thieves who came in my apartment last august while I was gone and stole my laptop, microphone, digital camara, and other random stuff...forgiven.

To the unknown number of guys who watched me in the airport in Dallas, TX as I sat for hours waiting on a delayed flight and then stole my laptop as I turn my head to get more information on my flight after 5 hours of waiting...forgiven.

All these robbers have one thing in common, they took replaceable things. But what they don't know is that they gave me stuff too. Like an endless focus that won't die, a new perspective on life true value, the ability to start again at any given moment, they taught me that identity isn't found in what you have, but who gave it to you and how you use what you have while you have it. And most of all they've removed what they tried to invoke, FEAR.

So fellow robbers, thieves, and muggers of Darnell Levine...as a Christian I gotta pray for you and will. But as a man, if you need something you should work for it. Anybody can steal as you've proven, but not everybody has the balls to earn his ways.
