Opium is the religion of the masses

Tom,

Oh yes, quite right, through the mill, under the mill stone. Will correct.

"Thing is, the leftist clarion call is always unchanging and pitifully but genuinely predictable."

Of course, give me some credit, that's what I wrote. That is why I used such hyperbolic words like "indiscriminately".

Actually it started out as accentual verse and then it fell out of form, which is why I am going to cut "indiscriminately", not because the word is bad, but because the line needs shoring up rhythmically.      

"Papaver somniferum" I thought you only did fungus?

Glad to hear from you,

aschueler,

"unguent" really wouldn't work, as it is saying something different. The other two are single syllable and I need a two syllable word there. However I did enjoy thinking about unguent as it is such a disgusting word, both in the way it looks and sounds.

I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.

Best,

dale

Yeah unguent won't win a beauty pageant.  But it is still something I want to use someday.

It is simple but "...poppies that would [or could] soothe..."
