Born in California--Oakland,

But some will claim you’re not from this land.

A worthy woman,

But many call your gender a bad omen.

Of Jamaican and Indian descent,

Which many of your detractors resent.

Your typical youthful days

Will be distorted as filled with nymphish ways.

Your high learning and education

Will not receive due validation.

Your jobs and career path

Will incur suspicion, ridicule and wrath.

A respected California State attorney general,

Your great accomplishment will not be viewed as seminal.

One of the few female senators in the U.S. Congress,

An achievement your disparagers will surely not stress.

One of the few women in history to have ever run for president,

Your early exit will be all that is evident.

Current vice president of America for the past 3+ years,

But all many are crying is, “Who freakin’ cares?”

Now, again, you dare to be president?!

Go get it, Kamala! Courage--don’t be hesitant!
