Her final step was a great fall
From this world way down to hell
Evil has her back to the wall
At her funeral ringing bells
Upon her grave fallen flowers
Six feet under below our feet
Ended all with mourning showers
Masses head home emotions beat
One lost life, thanks to foolish greed
To satisfy her selfish needs
One soul stolen due to theft
Only now she has nothing left
"Righteousness Guards the man on integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner."

I think that you have a start of a really great poem here, however, I dont think that your thought was really completed. I like the last four lines, however, I dont think you expressed what she was greedy about and why she met this fate. If you revise, let me know.
