A corrupt, treacherous, murderous place
A fortune or a meager living to chase.
Double-crossing, back-stabbing,
Zimbabwe diamonds grabbing.
A bloody, brief, and hellish life to face.
If lucky, you can make a killing
If to risk your life you're willing.
It's dirty, and it's back-breaking.
An enormous risk you'd be taking
Even if there were no killing.
Los Angeles Times, 4 December 2008:
Death stalks a field of gems
Diamonds lure illicit miners who dodge bullets as regime thugs loot rich trove of Zimbabwe's wild east.
