    About this ebook

    Scriptures from the Sidewalk a collection of poetry written from the perspective of a young African from Kumasi Derick Asante. The ideology behind the word "scripture" is viewed by many with such great pre-cedence that Derick chose to play on it and entitled his book "Scriptures from the Sidewalk", a metaphor for the code of the streets and the rules without regulations where he comes from. This an exquisitely created volume which compliments as well as identifies with his drawing and sketching ability. Derick creates yet another image with text as suppose to paints and brushees. This one is for the urban at heart and the general population. Some of the works include remeniscent pieces such as "Back When Pt.1&2" and many others. Extremely refreshing context "Scriptures from the Sidewalk" has a great collection for all to enjoy. An astonishing debut.

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
