Backwoods Cryptography

By Ryan Morrison

Encrypted lyrical poems of real life struggle and strives. Ryan Morrison was raised to walk on faith, follow the signs on this road laid out for us. Life is a journey with change of plans, people, the unexpected. Proud of his down home raising, was taught to keep his life simple, but his dreams wide open. A man’s worth comes from working hands, but gentle enough to lift those up in need. From a long line of farmers, mechanics, musicians, blue collar-small town country folks. The fields, backwoods, backroads, dirt roads all have taught him how to slow down when things get bumpy. No stranger to hard times and loss. When life throws dust in your eyes, wipe them off and see again. God, family, friends is your strength. The backwoods is your piece of mind.

A Heroine of Her Own Kind

If I took a look around me

There’s a homeless person

Starring back at me

With a longing look in her eyes

I can reach farther then she sees

She starts to cry

But I look at this watch of mine

Walk on by, haven’t got the time

The bottle has been away

To stay alive

20 years of hard luck

Fought temptations of the streets

Just to survive

Alone

A heroine of her on time

A genius inside her mind

Takes more than skills

To be street wise

Out here you need more then education

To survive

No rewards

For a heroine of her own kind

Every day she awakes to a life

She doesn’t deserve to

Simple words no one understands

Between me and you

She’s done her best in this game

Beautiful mind went insane

With no rules, anybody’s hand

Let’s pick her up on her feet

Let her stand

Time to say yes we can

A War Never Won

When the smoke clears

He thanks his lord he is still alive

Blood dripping from his hands

Soldier who took a bullet in the night

He shouts out I damn these ones

Who sent me to this new way of life

Breathes heavy, crawling through the jungle

Sweats iron till the morning light

Sitting here
