The rich throw us under their mill,
indiscriminately grind our flesh & bones,
yet forbid us poppies to succor
our mental anguish or quite our pitiful moans.

i have a problem with yet, because i think the contradiction that you put in the center of this poem is not valid.
if opiates (or any drug) are used to soothe pain or distract from injustice then they actually serve the “oppressors” well.
