Did i Do the Right Thing?

The Village Olderman contemplates, if he did the right thing leaving his village.He had little choice.

Did I do the right thing
Did I make the right Choice
Leaving all my people
My dear village
My neighbours, them all.
I used to guide them
Harvest land, build houses,
Live a clean and good life
I was their support, their safe keeper

Did I choose wisely?
Worries haunt me now,
Did I choose wisely?
I bargained for time,
Time to live
As our future was treathened
By this greedy viking
To burn our homes
Kill our men,
Enslave our women
...I bargained for time,
More living time.
