Capital Ground
Anick Roschi, August 2009
Now is the shared time
Of our last riches
To each birth
Freedom
A drop of water
Thirsty of river
To each birth
Equality
A drop of sweat
Exhausted of misery
To each birth
Fraternity
A drop of air
Dirty of deserts
Now is the exorcised time
Of our planetary reasons
The articulated time
Of a capital
Ground.
Anick Roschi has the dual nationality of Suisse and French. After secondary studies started in France, he registered at the school of Engineer de Geneva and obtained a Diploma of Applied Physics. Very quickly he put an end to his scientific course and gave up additional training in Paris for voyages to several European countries, the Middle East, and North Africa. Upon his return, he took the position of socio-cultural worker at the Genevese Institute of Social Studies and worked for many years with the children of the peripheral districts of the city. Parallel to his professional investment, he has submitted his poetry to several international contests, of which Fiele Filiochta in Ireland, allotted him first prize. His poems have been published in several anthologies in Belgium, Spain, and Italy.
