We had
A chance to unite and fight
The virus.
Isolate and investigate,
Until ready to vaccinate,
Our shield against advancing attack.
Yet shadows and doubt
Invaded impatient minds
Binding division across the land.
Warnings ignored
With careless greed
Encouraged our unseen enemy to breed.
And now, in our current
War of the World
Hubris allows mutations to swell.
Lamenting our sins
Failing what could have been
An untreated virus continues to win.
Daily writing prompt
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
