Poem
Last night, when laid i my head to rest, dreamt i a dream dreadful; I wept,though i was a deep in sleep, I saw a baobab tree with three branches, on it lays the colony of three birds of the air, of the third branches took i much concerned, on it the vultures of the air descend and made their nest! I saw i half a moon horrified with blood, the blood drips and drools on the third branch which the vultures of the air stood and droop. The vultures cry woes, wails and mourns no man could console, Then saw i a fleet of bats and owls, the bats and owls, possess they sharp beaks like the pecker of woods, beaks they possess possess they from the the feed of remnant spoils past club of the ousted lion gave to frighten the teaming flock of sheep to compel and to cower them; that they may agree without restrain to the tyrannic reign of the club of ousted lion! The vultures doth cry woes still, but the bats and owls they screech and scorn they lurk in the dark they laid ambush, they bit the sheep with their beaks; This is the beginning of the woes Now knoweth i the reason, the moon gets filled with blood and drools and drips. The vultures doth rest for a season and the bats and owls scorns no more for a time till a lion with a broken jaw be dead and installed they the club of the ousted lion another lion with a feeble knee of the southernmost branch to reign a king. Then saw i again, the third branch writhing in pains when the lion with a feeble knee doth mount the throne, His reign shall shake the tree, its branches and the ranch in the orchard. I saw arose a bat; an interbreed of the owls, it thrive and strive for a time and season, to hurt the sheep that graze on the accursed branch that their blood may drip and drool on the ranch and the half moon be filled with blood and itself drip and drool. Then killed they the gallant bat, and cried louder woes the vultures the more, see, now, more bats and owls screech and scorn. Then arose a comrade from the owls an interbreed of the bats and neighboring ranch and orchard of foxes and wolves. It goeth to and fro, secretly lurking in the dawn, to hit with its beak and run in twilight, a mass slaughtering of sheep, as innocent as can be! Again, when the vultures' voice would be raised to the highest of decibels, they shall wail and cry their final woes, then the gallant bat and its rebels shall lay hold of the virgins of Rachel, Alas, the highest of impunity would be rot when the virgins shall be sold thirty silver a piece, then the whole world shall hear and fear, for the lamentation of Rachel, for her daughters' ransome, and the whole world shall go in hunt of the bat and its accomplice, they shall be nabbed unawares, their end shall come unannounced, then shall there be peace, yet the vultures will cry their woes once more, for the bats and it rebels, and the half moon shall drips blood once more and thence no more. Then shall the cursed tree be made whole, when the feeble lion is banished, and another era begins!
