An Analogy

An analogy of Sleep and Death Written on the 20th of March 2015 By Naye Joseph Jeremiah Sleep is rest while Death is rest also Sleep a temporal cessation of work Death a permanent cessation of life Sleep brings refreshing Death causes reflections Awakened after Sleep to continue Awakened after Death into eternity Sleep is natural while Death is super-natural Sleep is the desire of the tired Death the desire of the aged and tired Sleep is a state of temporal death Death is a state of permanent sleep After a hard day's of work rest is required After a hard long life Death is desired Death is a jolt to preeminence Sleep and Death translate to a World In Sleep visions and dreams are received In Death visions and dreams are terminated Of necessity I must do the works I was born to work, So that my Sleep will be sweet Before death comes calling I would have finished my assignment (Written on the 20th of March 2015)
