But Blood Diamond Kills

I open my eyes
To a darkened world
I open my eyes
To find blackness
I look around
For signs of life
I look around
Any shimmer of light

A shiny star
In the mists of night
A shiny star
So ultra bright
A voice I hear call
Shout my name!
A voice I hear call
Will save me from pain

Comes over to me
A man so broad
Comes over to me
Towers my frailness
Will you save me?
I'm wanting to cry
Will you save me?
No! Work for the gems!

So I work...
Digging the caves
So I work...
Second, minutes, hours
Hoping and praying
I will be saved
Hoping and praying
Mummy will find me

Saviour:
A slaves dream
Saviour:
A lost hope forgotten
But blood diamond kills
I'm caved by the mine walls
But blood diamond kills
There I die, for your precious jewel

~Small inside quote hidden within the poem
I open my eyes. I look around. A shiny star so ultra bright comes over to me. Will you save me? So I work, hoping and praying: Saviour, but blood diamond kills...~
