Will "Da Real One" Bell: Hungry For Poetry

Will Da Real One was an incredible poet from Miami. A slam poetry champ in may circles, and most notably a Def Poetry Jam poet. I bought a cd he released called Verbal Vision from his hands at a poetry spot back in 2003. Unfortunately he is no longer with us. Upon hearing the news I dug this CD back up many tracks jumped at me, but this track I feel Sums up Will's mission on this earth, and love for poetry.

This poem was the poem that hooked me to spoken word. I saw Will perform this so many years ago. After that I was hungry myself. I love and miss my friend, and to hear this poem again, is just overwhelming.

My heart aches, but I smile because I know that's what you'd want to see...

Peace brother... I was privileged to hear him live a number of times at Mello Mondays. Dude was straight to the point. Respect
