THE GREATEST HEARTACHE (2025)* By Kevin “Rashid” Johnson

November 10, 2025 | Filed under: Uncategorized

For the darker hue
It remains like slavery of olden days
At any moment
One’s dearest could be
Sold away
Or their existence
Stole away
Heartache wrenched from smiles
On a day
Begun with sunshine
Defiled…

We having dance offs
Booties twerking
They training hand-to-hand
Bodies working
We gouge on junk food
Overweight
They in gyms
Hitting weights
We in the hood
Chasing ghetto … Read the rest

BOOKS BY KEVIN “RASHID” JOHNSON

PANTHER VISION

Panther Vision: Essential Party Writings and Art of Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Minister of Defense New Afrikan Black Panther Party

"The original Black Panther Party for Self-Defense challenged the prevailing socio-political and economic relationship between the government and Black people. The New Afrikan Black Panther Party is building on that foundation, and Rashid’s writings embrace the need for a national organization in place of that which had been destroyed by COINTELPRO and racist repression. We can only hope this book reaches many, and serves to herald and light a means for the next generation of revolutionaries to succeed in building a mass and popular movement.” --Jalil Muntaqim, Prisoner of War
