Blood Diamonds
Blood Diamonds are gems, mined with great loss
Losing their beauty, for the deaths that they cause
A murky violent business, by the rulers of the day
Violating anyone, who dares get in their way
Dying for diamonds, a powerful message to send
Whatever you try, greed always wins in the end
With the eyes of the World upon them, maybe they may see
Its time to stop this violence and set their people free

Excellent, your images are really starting to speak for themselves. Also the title of this image works so well romantic comes to mind. And on the other hand it very disturbing. The soft glow around the hand is somewhat holy as well
