poem help please?

how does this peom sound?? its about the book “the winter of our discontent” by john steinbeck.

“Guilt”

The consequence of every crime

Ethan Hawley’s last emotion

All it takes is time

How far will Ethan go

To get what he wants

Now he knows

How to get what he needs

Thoughts of theft

Breaking someone’s trust

Just to satisfy what he has left

And to do what he thinks he must

Was it worth it?

The pain and the time

Just to fit

In with the line

When life got rough

All he had to do,

Was bluff

And now that it’s done

He is no longer tough.

sounds really good to me, although the second stanza is a little strange. i would change only the last line… have fun! 🙂
