It’s the little things
Not diamond rings
Expensive digs
Or shiny wigs
Not money spent
Nor places you went
The little things
Like shower songs he sings
With you on his mind
That special effort to be gentle and kind… Read the rest
I’ve seen them
Angry misleaders
People cheaters
The bottom feeders
Those who
Resent the honest
Hate and envy the true
Feeling you’re taking
Acclaim they’re due
Is this you?
What some call
Haters
Fakers
Infiltrators
Insecure attention seekers
Needy instigators… Read the rest
Our history didn’t begin
With slavery
Under the yoke
Of Arab and European knavery
No one favored me
With the truth
Of our bravery
From whence we came

For the darker hue
It remains like slavery of olden days
At any moment

Child you know he do
Truth be told son

With no one
Worthy of mention
To give it individual purpose
To give it life
Like a close ally
A comrade or wife
Sometimes a heart
Has been so taxed
It yearns for … Read the rest
Are we there yet?
No, not yet
Bet we are somewhere
Though not where
We aim to get
And where is that?
It’s a place where
We won’t be preyed on
Anymore
Lie on anymore
Where we’ll receive
An even … Read the rest
MAMA (2025)… Read the rest
by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson
You know all my
Faces
My every shade
My light and dark spaces
The brick beds I've made
On which I've laid
You've endured me
When I try you
Defy you
Test you
But
THE NAZIFICATION OF AMERIKA (2025), by Kevin “Rashid” Johnson
Amerika is this what you wanted
A neo-Nazi in the white house,
Spewing imperial racist rhetoric
out both sides of his lying white mouth?
No pretending this isn’t fascism
Can’t say … Read the rest
