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!
