A Friend’s Eulogy

By Andrew Bigelow (Also known as Society)

I keep waitin' to hear from you D

I guess it’s sinkin' in now that I’m writing your eulogy

When you passed, all I could think about was you and me

But truth is I had to see to understand you affected all the people in front of me

We keep you in memory, in our hearts and on a tall T

I promise to give your family all of me

If anyone knew, you knew life ain’t easy

But you accepted the challenge, happiness and smile contagious

Humor outrageous, hard to think you wont be with me writing life's pages

I haven't been able to read this with out cryin'

Thinkin' bout couple conversations we had about death and dyin'

You said you don’t want people to mope around

But it’s hard to celebrate when our hope is down

Due to another soldier down

Another brother down

A son down, a nephew down, a homie down, best friend down,

Another G down, an emcee down

Another victim of the ghetto, down

But your more then a statistic D, your profound

And now you’re with the highest most

So I pray for you, in the name of the father, the son,

and Holy Ghost

Rest in Peace Demetrius 'Yung Ghost' Campbell
