Eulogy

Here lies a great man. It saddens me that someone of such great stature has left us so early. Kene was the best at what he did. Trappin’. He dedicated his life to it, his mind body and soul were so deeply connected to it that it was his ultimate demise. How you might ask? It’s simple. Kene had seemed to have trapped so much that he developed sick and rare disease called trapaphobia, which caused his brain to try to repel his body’s excessive need to trap, which then created a sort of separation between his mind and body which ultimately lead to his death. It is sad Kene was a bright and intelligent man. Although many wouldn’t have thought so due to various stereotypes that plagued him. He was more than likely to be seen as a common trouble maker or an unvalued part of a society that didn’t take time to explore pages of books that were hard to read. One thing that came easy to Kene was making friends people always said that he was an easy person to get along with and a great person to talk to about personal problems no matter what the situation was. It was kind of ironic because Kene himself didn’t open up that much to people and often kept to himself about his life problems and goals. Little did anyone know Kene actually loved writing. He loved writing of all sorts he wrote short stories, poems, and even raps. Kene also enjoyed music, although many told him to take it more seriously, Kene always kept it as a hobby, stating that writing was his first passion and true love(other than trappin’ of course). A real trapper by all meanings of the word, Kene will truly be missed by all of us. His ability to grind and turn the stickiest of situations into positive ones will be forever cherished by those of us who are in this jam of life.

*Trappin – The act of getting money; having life on a “come up” (life is getting totally better);turning something bad into something good.

Grind- to make something out of nothing

Jam- Sticky situation
