Scorched Earth

We fled to the north, with
All we could carry and heft,
Later, returned to our town,
But nothing was left,
The rubble the cost of
Giving a fanatic a gun,
Who used us as shields,
Until it all came undone,
Drug us in a blood feud war
Which couldn't be won,
And to survive, we must
Pack up and run...
