We the People of Trinidad & Tobago

We were supposed to be discovered By Columbus in Fourteen-ninety-eight, But we had the Arawaks and Caribs Already there, so Columbus was late. We are a Cosmopolitan Nation Of every color, creed, and race, Call ourselves a Callaloo people With all the mixture in this place. The Black people or the Africans Came to the Caribbean as slaves, The Indians came as Indentured As Laborers and not as Braves. We also have a good blend Of Chinese European, and Japanese, Most of whom came to do business Syrians, Koreans, and Lebanese. But we thank God for our mixture And now the whole world could see, That people of many cultures Can live together in harmony.
