the 12 given words:
shore beating blind console classic flame 
exhausted outcry name surf sandals boulders

to shore up his depressed state he took a beating
for he was blind to the furor but he was consoled

the idea was to invoke the classic ways of his
forefathers to throw the flames of shame at them
until he had exhausted the barrage of his outcry

only then his name was cleared of any stigma

surfing would then be a breeze without having the
likes of sandals thrown at them which had the effect
of big boulders struck in the face of ignorance
