GOOD INTENTIONS BAD RESULTS (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

The intentions
Of those who mean well
Seem well
But often pave the path
To a mean hell
Because when we fail
To take proper measure
Of the limits of our means
But instead find pleasure
In confusing what’s real … Read the rest

THE U.S. FOURTH REICH (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

One who glorifies Hitler
Sits in the Oval Office
Ordering hits on nation’s leaders
Over morning coffee

In contemplation his lips pucker
Like an offending orifice
With a brat’s disposition
He steals positions by means not nice

Creating economic chaos… Read the rest

Before you
Love songs

Resonate with me,
Speak to the loss I feel
Make an ache in me,
They feel … Read the rest

Your Founding Fathers

High end white men

IF THERE WERE NO POLICE (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

If there were no police
There would be more peace
No more violent deceased

Holding us back

BLACK CANNON FODDER (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

Slaves in uniform
Sent to early graves in units torn
By divisions based on skin color
Cast aside as the ‘other’
How often
Do we find dark people
In this role unequal
But selling their soul
As subject
Not citizen… Read the rest

THE REVOLUTION WAS COMMERCIALIZED (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

Few remember
How hip hop began
When lyrics were first laid
Over tracks way back when

Spoke to major issues of the day
So people would know it

AN ODE TO THE WEALTHY (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

When you can join the workers
To produce the things we need
Such as clothes shelter, even diversions
And the foods on which we feed

People of weaker might
Perhaps you can truly … Read the rest

WHY Y’ALL RAN IN IRAN (2026)

April 7, 2026 | Filed under: Uncategorized

Y’all ran in Iran
For spoils
Like Venezuela

Kidnapping and killing
Unwilling heads of state
For fossil fuels
They wouldn’t let you take
So unequal fights
You instigate

Against those who can’t
Stop your invasions… Read the rest

To the crimes of the emperor
Who has no hair

Of multiple crimes involving
Inciting riots to overthrow
Decisions resolved in

Favor of his opponents
In elections conducted
Through … 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
