What is going on in the #SteemitUniverse today?

This is my entry to The Steemit Open Mic – Week 79

It is an original song of mine called Palerider

Palerider

It was late in the day 1928 in a saloon outside of town
When a stranger walked flashed his grin, wiped the sweat off of his brow
Lips curled back in a vicious sneer, not a smile on any face
He grabbed a chair, then grabbed a beer, before he robbed the place

Palerider

Two lay dead as they tried to escape, holes in the back of their head
He shot the barmaid in the back and the piano player lie dead
Calmly he stood up after his evil deed was done
Grabbed the cash, liquor, and loot then rode off in the sun

Palerider

Looked out to the east saw the rising sun
Looked out to the west saw the battle won
Looked out to the north he dare not stop his steed
At home you know he had a wife and five kids to feed

Palerider

Wake up in the morning and grabs his six shot gun
Drinks a little breakfast then runs a little run
If the run turns sour he'll go hide up in a dive
He'll spend no time in prison cause the law went right on by

Palerider
