Justified Anger

Wow!

That is powerful.  The raw emotion tumbles out of it like the rocks out of the back of that lorry.  Odd that we both should touch on the theme of hypocrisy but approach it in different ways and different genres.  Conviction oozes out from this...

This gets better and better as it progresses.  So many good things could be said about this one paul_a.  But I'll just leave it at that.  Well done.

"peering into the barrows (barrow's) dark opening"

"thunderclap rent the air and the rock before him rent in two."  The repetition of 'rent' seems a little clumsy, maybe the rock could 'split' in two?
