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.
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.
