Kamala Harris: For the People



Remember when
You were
Poised to be
California's first Black
Woman Attorney General
Stiletto pumps
Pearls
Ambition on a mission

You were bold and
We were sold on your CAL lineage
Mom and Dad, Go Bears.

Greedy bankers quaked
Environmental policy you made
Children did not fear
When the Black Woman
First appeared

Knowledgeable
Authentic
Mentoring
AKA
Loyal
Attorney

For the people
