On Inglorious Death

"Nigga didn't die in no plane crash--nigga died in the streets."

Location: 15th and Market (Southwest Corner), Philadelphia, PA.

Exposition: The speaker was a woman lamenting a young man who had recently passed away. Despite the person he was in life, however, his death went largely unnoticed by the world simply because he died a common, and not at all heroic, death.
