Woe to those who plot evil upon their beds! <br />For she who was in labour has now given birth; <br />And they coveted fields and homes and oppressed the poor. <br /> <br />The flower of Lebanon wilts and i cannot find my lover, <br />And like flaming torches in the day of preparation! <br />But they entangled like thorns and they are drunk like drunkards! <br /> <br />The seductive harlot is with Xezel, <br />And many are ready with their axes at the big tree! <br />For she who was in labour has now given birth.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/xezel/
