The Pirate at the Gates of Dawn
Do you remember this old Pink Floyd tune? The Piper at the Gates of Dawn? That’s the song I remembered all day, here is why…
Imagine yourself to be the master and commander of this beautiful kingdom. Everything was perfect except one small clay tomb that was missing, on top of the cathedral, up north outside. You always thought, you will eventually get the clay tomb one fine day in the future.
But other than that, everything was fine…you had what you want, you have a lovely life with a beautiful queen who supports you every step along the way. You love her more than life in itself, you are blessed with a plethora of talent, profuse of class, and grace.
You were No. 1 with some of the most adoring, loyal fans one can ever get, life was always the way it always was supposed to be. You had to encounter certain challenges along the way, but when all is said and done, this was ALMOST a fairy-tale, the one about this beautiful Swiss Kingdom.
But there is a small problem, fairy-tales only exist in our imagination…not reality.
Then one fine morning you woke up, and heard a ratting miles up north, outside the gates. A new, young, yet charismatic pirate was in town, you heard. He was a one trick pony, they said—and at the beginning you paid him no mind, nor should you have.
He kept possession of the clay tomb, that you so much craved for…and years went by, he kept collecting a number of clay tombs. He beat you to it every time. Now, you began to think of him as a problem—more of a one-dimensional, annoying one rather than an ominous one.
You always liked the pirate, and marginally begrudged him for keeping you away from consummate undoubted pantheon of unquestionable greatness…but you still did not think of him as a true rival.
Things changed…
Last June the pirate broke open the front gates of your kingdom. He was no more a one trick pony. It was fine, we thought, it is a big deal yes, but it was probably one of those things, that has a less than decent probability of happening again. The king went on to far Western American lands, and captured more territories. But the pirate was getting closer…
Then yesterday, the pirate broke open the front door, and then it hit the king, in that one moment that this captivating pirate is here to stay. He has broken into your front gates and front door in less than a year. Something had to be done—but you aren’t quite sure on what is it that you can do?
