The third & last submission.
      
            Night Must Fall
      
      The moon will rise and the sun will set,
      and the stars will shine at night;
      but your final doom it is to die,
      no matter how hard you fight.
      And if you scream and if you shout,
      or if you just sit and cry;
      your final destiny my friend,
      will simply be to die.
      Whatever mark you try to leave,
      on either foe or friend;
      all will come to nothing,
      in the bitter end.
      Whatever pain you will endure,
      the hardships and the fright;
      every day will have its dusk,
      and the sun must die at night.
      So weep not for your losses,
      and regret not your sin;
      for in this game the deck is stacked,
      and you can never win.
      When your life is over,
      and you've come to the end of the way;
      the things you have done,
        and all you have said,
      will simply fade away.
                        K.W.

Words of night will fall

A straight forward statement of mortality.

It might be stronger if it were divided into stanzas.

I like these lines:

"every day will have its dusk,

and the sun must die at night."

A decent poem for a first Lit. effort.

Keep writing.
