On The 22nd Anniversary Of 9/11 ... I Have A Dream

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The shocking
earth-shattering
devastatingly deadly events
that occurred on
September 11, 2001
happened again
in dream form
 
The earth shook
devastatingly
in the form of 
an earthquake 
in Russia
 
Vladimir Putin
pleaded with the world 
for help
and help was offered 
conditionally
 
The condition
was simple
and straightforward:
 
Remove ALL troops
from Ukraine
and let that country 
have its untrammeled
freedom
 
Vladimir Putin
accepted those conditions
within 
four hours
 
Pint-size Ukraine 
celebrated the end
of its war 
with a superpower
 
Russia
was given international aid
and support
to rebuild the country
 
Putin was entirely
at the mercy
of 
international intervention
and 
his ability to intimidate
anyone or any nation
was reduced 
to nil
 

And 
Ukraine will 
go down in history
as the only country
to win a war
because of
an earthquake

    1. Such an earthquake could have put the Earth
      on a natural axis
