Sleep

To finally go to sleep
And never need to wake,
There's no worry of a soul
For either power to take.

To cease ever being here
Would be a dream for me.
No belief of heaven or hell
At the end of my journey.

There's no quarrel between 
God or Devil for control  
Of that imaginary thing 
That people call a soul.
