Black Diamond

BLACK DIAMOND

                Black Diamond not dazzling diamond
               Though both come from same carbon ore
               Both are siblings with common bond.
               Black Diamond not dazzling diamond
               Black dark coal: Industry is fond
               of fuel not jewel, much more.
               Black Diamond not dazzling diamond
               Though both come from same carbon ore.
