Diamonds

Expensive tiny stones

worthless when considered

There is blood in these

not mine or yours

But there is still blood

Wiped away



Sensational the travel

across the desert

across the sky

Tiny expensive stones

across the sea where

danger is the greatest



Who’d deal with these

Expensive tiny stones

merchants and sailors

caught with,

courting death

at sea



Murder, Conspiracy

at sea

Diamonds

bad omen

for men

for everyone



A symbol

of fear and torture

less joy and everlasting love

Death do no part

symbol of greed

Death do us part
