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
