Congratulations! But, I'd have voted this poem as the topper, just this verse is worth the top prize, "Greed overcomes the people's need
in blood." Thought provoking!

This is such a sad situation all the way around. It is terrible that something so coveted is the cause of so much pain. I wonder how desirable diamonds would be if Zales had a sign in their store that told the details.
Thank you for sharing this poem. You have my contest vote.

Well said, when you start finding diamonds in the mud, your condition suddenly gets upgraded to a higher standard, leaving your conscience behind :"diamond bewitches.
Greed overcomes the people's need
in blood." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Apt use of a serious and shameful practice. Greed and need are antithetical, sorry to say. Best of luck with all the voters.
Have a pleasant day.
Peace, Lee

A unique offering for this very limited format - great job using your poem to highlight the illegal and quite blood-trail-plagued 'blood diamond' trade... :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck at the polls! ;)

This cinquain, Blood Diamonds Bring Death, has the proper formatting and denotes the horrific implications of these particular diamonds that seem to promote so much violence.

Diamonds are notorious for bringing chaos to people's lives and bringing death and sorrow as the value of a diamond is sought after, your words are poignant and chilling here, love Dolly x
