377 The 3 Traders

377.

The 3 Traders



Now that the Orient knows we're here

The Superpowers came to trade their stuff so dear…



First were entrepreneurs of the Red Giant

Meaty foods, fine clothings, housewares so elegant

Second were adventurers of the Sub-Continent

Strange gems, music & language here they sent

Third were missionaries of the Cradle of Islam

Believers of this system to Allah come



…These Chinese, Indians & Arabs our ancestors befriended

Their influence upon us never goes depleted!
