Is it really unfair?

Well, a lot of times somethings happen that leave you rattled and scarred. Usually it is being accused and punished for something you are not guilty of. When your intentions were pure and yet the effect of your actions was negative if not devastating. Such things leave scars embedded in your mind.

Verdict

In chains, he is brought in pain,
He gambled they say, he lost.
Damage was done, someone
Must pay the cost.

Accused of deceit, faith forgotten,
Love blemished, friendship fallen.
Hate burns, too late he learns,
Misunderstood, innocence stolen.

Hammer cracks, silence roars
Unending, impatient wait,
They talk, they concur.
They glance, more hate?

The jury stands,
A last mark of respect?
The foreman speaks:
Condemned till death.
=============================
Notice the last line is "Condemned TILL death" rather than "condemned TO death".
