The Frequency of Violence -Dino
The frequency of violence among US
Is the last realization of an antebellum nation
Lack of rights beget riots and from US
You’ll hear cries of peace on stations while armed bigots say it’s creation
Creation of space and order for them
An Insane justification of and for their undue provocations
Double standards for US at borders or them
Using the innovations the products of their violent machinations
Machinations intended for US to stall
Working jobs in sanitation while searching for the salvation
What happened to the idea of justice for all
Gone with the frequency in our nation violent denial as we awake with revelations
Revelations of ICE in our cities but with magic in our hearts
The elites lean on inflation as we struggle with various starvations
If we rise and resist then the reckoning will start
If we unite and rise to the occasion then in the post conflict there will be recreation
Recreation and rec parks where needles won’t make children addicts
We can lean into restoration and lower the frequency of violence in our nation
If we apply morality and ethics and abide by humanitarian edicts
We can all have an elevation that raises our frequencies while lowering that of the violence in our nation.

Reflecting on the frequency of violence in the US, I’ve noticed that many underlying factors often go unaddressed in public discourse. The poem highlights how lack of rights and systemic injustices fuel unrest and violence, which resonates heavily with what I've witnessed in various communities. The reference to “double standards at borders” and “revelations of ICE in our cities” brings to light the harsh realities faced by immigrants and marginalized groups, which often contribute to societal tensions. It’s clear that violence isn’t random but frequently linked to rigid power dynamics and inequality. Additionally, the mention of “working jobs in sanitation while searching for salvation” reminds me of the struggles of many low-income workers, who bear the brunt of economic hardships yet aspiring for a better, peaceful life. This is a powerful reminder that economic struggles, such as inflation and starvation, are catalysts that increase social unrest. What stood out most is the hopeful call for unity and morality as means to lower violence rates. In my experience, community-driven efforts that focus on restoration, such as improving recreational spaces and creating safer environments for children, truly help reduce crime and addiction, which are connected to cycles of violence. Implementing humanitarian principles and fostering empathy across cultural and social divides can elevate collective consciousness, reducing tensions that lead to violence. By educating ourselves and engaging in community support initiatives, we can contribute to this change. In summary, reducing violence in the US requires addressing historic and systemic inequalities, supporting economic stability, and cultivating ethical awareness. When communities unite around these values, the “frequency of violence” can decrease, giving way to healthier, more harmonious living conditions for all.
