#44: How many words...

MEDICINES

sin, din, dine, dime, dim, scene, seed, seen, seem, die, dice, mice, mien, mine, ice, see, men, medicine, end

A motion picture scene,
A cast of the dice,
The sin of mice and men,
A nickle and a dime,
On a gambler's whim,
Now his life is mine.

His last meal he will dine,
Poison it will seem,
And in the din of non-existence,
the winning medicine so far out of reach,
The darkness he will see.

A mien of ice,
His Lady Luck
nowhere to be seen,
the seed of life
left alone to die,
A loser to the bitter end.
