Book Cover & Preview Text
I Challenge You! I dare you to do your best A challenge I oppose to you Dancing around obstacles Keep close to those pastoral in prominence Go with your instinct Stand for something
when all others dig your grave
nethered
hoping that your body finds the place
Poised with conviction
disavow restrictions
purge through to find your way
gracefully tango with your foes
Proscribe the thought that you can’t make it
allowing your lore to expose dolts
humble
that walk with you in their own just
though take the time if needed
but define your inner trust
design what lies inside
entailed with armament of chosen virtues
sell your soul for nothing
and let what you hold be your tool
I challenge you!

About the Author
Dannie Terrell Robinson, Born June 1,1981 (The Day of the Popular Eve) in Harlem, NY. Raised, in The Bronx, NY where he grew up with his mother, father and two sisters. A change of pace took place when the family (now only father and mother) relocated to Sumter, SC (age 12). This is when poetry found a new son. Tempered by a complete culture shock and the lost of his father three years later, there was a revert to poetry. This was the most important outlet in his life, his life saver. When there was pain he wrote, sorrow, pride, satisfaction, obstacles. With expression through words and voice he wowed close friends and family. Unexpectedly in May, 2008 he lost his angel on earth. After the lost of his mother and the brief reunification of a family parted over ten years, he realized certain responsibility must be up held and maintained. Dreams must become a reality and “what if” was not an option.
