Father's Day

Happy Father's Day God and thank you for filling in where our earthly father's fall short. Mine was there during my early years but left after I turned 12. A lot of African American youths lack a father in the home and there are many problems that stem from that. Still I have grown from my struggles and have reconciled with my father in hopes that he will one day come to grips with his faults. Here is a Short Film which speaks vollumes about growing up fatherless in America. Watch, enjoy, and leave a comment.



On a much happier note today is the one year anniversary of my book release!!!!
Here is all the info about yours truly:

Toochukwu T.C. Anyachonkeya was born in Lagos, Nigeria on August 9, 1983. A few years later his family moved to America and he grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. The firstborn of four he was self taught in visual arts and became poetically inclined through the influence of Hip Hop. It was these arts that kept him from going under during the heartache of his youth and pains of the past. The resounding strength in his work is captivating and contagious. They are to help those who feel defeated become more than conquerors. T.C. is a graduate of North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC where he received a B.A. in Art. He is in the Marine Reserves and currently pursuing a career in Acting and Modeling.

USMC

Once a Marine always a Marine. I have had the honor of serving my country up till this new age and beyond. The Warrior spirit that dwells in me will always show and grow from everything I learned in the military. This goes out to all my fellow servicemen who know what it means to sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day!



USMC

USMC stands for you signed my contract

So I’ve been called to go and make contact

With the enemy although not on the frontlines

I’ll be fighting indirectly helping from behind

Filling spots of Admin Marines that were deployed

Over seas fighting for the free our lives decoyed

Still a young boy but I’m living like a man

Burdened so much to see a better day if I can

Called by Uncle Sam on what I thought would be a stepping stone

For my future degree and prestige building my own home

I am only guaranteed a tomb and a going away ceremony

After death whom I am bound to in holy matrimony

The brave is lonely here there is nothing for me

I could have millions of dollars but still live poorly

My soul hurts sorely for its one soul mate

Which in death will be our first and last date

Such is my fate in this life that I hate

Serving God, Country, and Core with no choice my mistake

To live and wait for what is rightfully due to me

A wife pure as a baby smiling beautifully

Misery no immunity so I haven’t touched her yet

On the bright side in a few years I’ll be a Marine vet

So I have no regrets despite joy’s neglect

As I have lived I will die with honor and respect
