Do G's Get To Go To Heaven?

i saw this
on my way to dinner
this evening
spraypainted in
graffiti red on
the 34th street wall,

scribbled in haste,
in memoriam,
to a dead friend by
his''True Homies
From The Eastside''

asking me,
just in case
i might know;

just in case
i have a say.

just in case
i can help them out.
