In Indonesia, thousands of students
poured into the streets, through the gates
of their university, in a non-violent protest,
demanding 'power to the people'
and 'moral reform'
to the corrupt authoritarian government.
In response, the government police
with tear gas, clubs and guns
opened fire, killing sixteen and wounding dozens.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet,
somewhere in North America,
a man stood on his green manicured lawn
spraying pesticides on a patch of dandelions,
thinking to himself,
"damn these obnoxious weeds,
I'll kill them before they can spread their seeds".
