Pure Black Diamond

deep in the bowels of the earth this treasure is found, dug out by the men who work underground, they crawl and hack to fill the store waiting for the call, mind your heads as a blast is used to loosen more this black diamond. In the mining area in the valleys nearby many a child had no father to give, lost in the pit in an explosion, they cried, many men lost so others can live. the commodity they dig for you will recognise am sure, the black diamond I write about is.... coal....shiny and pure. penned august 3 2016

I believe our government is closing most of our coal mines, opting for greener sources of energy. Thousands of people will lose their jobs but maybe we can still save our planet. Enjoyed reading your write Seren. Too many deaths in cave-ins. Very dangerous work.

I toyed with going down the coal theme too Seren but knowing of all the mines in Wales I'm not surprised you chose this topic- great interpretation of the contest - good luck:-) hugs Jan xx
