Letter to Antwerp 
 
Diamonds
Cut a message
Antwerp we are
Blood diamond free
No conflict erupts
From our volcano sea
No Blood diamonds exist
Duo is not financing
Rebellions with our 
Royal Diamonds
To overthrow
Legitimate
Governments or
Barter our stones
For oil
Antwerp's
Diamond District
Aspen's colors
The heist jarred
Russian diamond ban
We assort by color
Weigh our cuts
Flawless
Round 
Princess 
Cushion 
Oval 
Emerald 
Pear 
Marquise 
Asscher
Heart
Unyielding to
Dictators and
Conflict zones
We're in the World
Spotlight with the
Letter to Antwerp
Duo's ethical and
Sustainable diamond
Underwater retrieval 
Will not reward
Dubai
Who opens its
Doors to Russian oligarchs
Our diamonds are the
Luxury Brand of our
Name in the diamond
Business
Diamond smuggling
Money laundering
Russia's war in
Ukraine
Duo's letter to
Antwerp
Storefronts
Our diamonds
Have a story
To tell

Reviewed on October 17, 2022
So true. Blood diamonds, primarily from Africa and often mined by children enslaved if they want to eat, are easily washed clean of the stain of their source when they are polished and faceted to the orders of the very rich and very clean who desire the very best and the very unique baubles come out of the prestigious Antwerp diamond cartel.

Cross them and, while Diamonds Are Forever, nations will fall.

Ron
