Blood Diamonds

Sat, 11/10/2018 - 16:50 -- Zeno

the carbon hardens after sinking farther into the dust
the earth compresses and turns a mess into a value of lust
by forming a stone that can survive intense temperatures
so the heat gets turned up when one is found in the ground
because someone wants to get married and loves it so much
to the point where the acquisition of the stone doesn't matter
as long as the need is high and the pockets get fatter
even if the miners are killed who cares about the source
they can be replaced with more slave labor of course
its not the consumers or merchants fault though, they just buy
its solely the fault of the turmoil, that's a lie
its no secret that the love of money is the root of all evil
results. conflicts in area where they wanna kill all the people.
