IT is one of the things we fear the most
Despite all that it can give
it also often takes away and is constant while we live
even in death it has its way
when we no longer do
we see it in the setting sun
and at night time too
Good luck! I'm bad at riddles, sorry.

The poem seems to be describing both the positive and negative aspects of something that is constant throughout our lives, and even beyond death. Based on the clues in the text, it appears that "it" refers to time.
Time is something that we often fear because of its inevitable passing and the limitations it imposes on us. However, it is also something that provides us with many opportunities and experiences during our lifetime.
To find the answer to the riddle in the poem, we need to look at the lines that mention specific indications of time. The phrase "we see it in the setting sun and at night time too" suggests that it is visible during the evening and nighttime. This is a clue that points to the answer being the concept of time.
In death, when we no longer exist, time still continues. This reinforces the idea that time is ever-present. Additionally, the line "even in death it has its way when we no longer do" further emphasizes that time continues to have an impact, even after we are gone.
So, in summary, the answer to the riddle in the poem is time, which is both feared and appreciated for its constant presence and influence throughout our lives.
