For We Are No Troglodytes

Blinking as we emerge

Into the golden, blinding light

Oh we need the open air

For we are no troglodytes,

Cobalt skies, verdant greens

Room to breathe, a soul set free,

As the scourge diminishes

So grows a sense of joy and glee.

Too true, but they have opened the trails here again, although social distancing required. Congrats on your win.
