The AntiChrist: An Epic Poem by Richard Del Connor

By Richard Del Connor, Buddha Zhen, Buddha Z

I wrote this epic poem, The AntiChrist, in 2011.

Considering the possible controversy and loss of privacy, I decided not to publish this book until after my children were no longer under my care as their "Mr. Mom" stay at home dad. I was cooking their meals, taking them to school...

So now, in 2023, I am publishing this book, The AntiChrist, for release primarily as an AUDIOBOOK.

My life has been an amazing adventure. But I hoped for more artistic and creative success. I worked for more financial success in selling my books and albums of music. I planned for more popularity and customer enthusiasm for my products.

In 2011 I knew I was at the end of my line keeping my family together. In the next two years, my ex-wife and son would become homeless after I left to create a Kung Fu school in Las Vegas.

My daughter would get into a car accident and injure her brain. We've never spent a day together since then. She's forgotten her memories of me and didn't return my calls or call me once during my year of cancer chemotherapy when I hoped we might finally rebuild our friendship.

How did I lose the family of my dreams? The family I WANTED TO BE IN. The family I wish I'd BEEN RAISED IN. The family I sacrificed my Carpentry Union career for. The family I gave up Hollywood movie making and record production for. The family I gave up my life on stage and my photography career for. What went wrong? I asked everyone. No one had the slightest idea why my family, my kids, and my ex-wife divorced me.

So I wrote this book. Was I cursed? Was God preventing my success?

I traveled through all the phases of my life and relatives and relationships looking for my mistakes.

See what I found.
