Ten years ago I sat transfixed
with friends. For weeks we had been
glued to CNN, cheering on students,
kids our age, taking charge of their lives
demanding to be heard.

And their voices were heard. The result;
a flurry of bloodshed as tanks rolled in
and bullets flew through the sky
and we watched in horror.
