You can use divs instead of li tags to order your slides. Here is an example with Foundation 5 Framework applied to the slider simply to generate rows/columns.

    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns">
        <img src="http://placehold.it/350x250/5E7074/FFFFFF&text=Slide-One" />
    </div>
    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns text-pane">       
<h1>Are you ready for the truth?</h1>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="row collapse slide-pane">
    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns">
        <img src="http://placehold.it/350x250/5E7074/FFFFFF&text=Slide-Two" />
    </div>
    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns text-pane">       
<h1>Are you ready for the truth?</h1>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="row collapse slide-pane">
    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns">
        <img src="http://placehold.it/350x250/5E7074/FFFFFF&text=Slide-Three" />
    </div>
    <div class="small-6 medium-6 large-6 columns text-pane">          
<h1>Are you ready for the truth?</h1>
    </div>
</div>
