 Apparently blood diamonds are more ethical than man made because muh climate https://i.nostr.build/7UxpnqjPNdR1BH2C.jpg 
 Why not polar diamonds from northern Canada?  That's what my wife's engagement ring was contains.  I choose that because of the whole blood diamonds thing and lab created wasn't really a thing.  Now. If I could go back and having learned more about gemstones I'd get something far rarer than a diamond. 
 Just for rage clicks. NOSTR fixes this.

💎💎💎 Old poem 

Locked body
 Mind
For crime
 Another committed 
Blind me with hate 
 And lies
Critically injured 
Amputation 
Blame another 
Bury me
My voice 
They tried 

Perfect 
Diamond
Pressured 
To cut to the truth

For other diamonds  
To help them see
They shine 
Bright

 Diamond is technically "my stone," according to some thingy I read once. Meh... Never thought much of them. I like sapphires. 
 Do what makes you happy. Limit as much exploitation as possible. That’s my feels on it.

 Apparently … it’s complicated.

 Combatting climate change is essential, for the future of child slaves. 
 Betcha that's De Beers scoundrels paid for that hit piece and many others.

Remember that a diamond weight is measured in carats, that is 0,2 grams. This isn't what'll be tipping the earthly climate... 
 They all are blood diamonds 💎 

Derision Division
Choosing to stay silent: Or go to the violent Spiritual sadness : Voices of madness
Words of rage: The worlds stage
All the pain the world gave
Dreams lost
•Or in the grave
Call me hateful words
If it heals your broken heart

The past taught us nothing
Claim another persons pride
My ancestors lived
As yours did too
Most of us are of mixed blood
None of us are all good

While you claim to be pure 
It's another contributor
To another war
Call me weak
And then block my speak
