You can promise me a future.

You can promise me a future.

Dear educators, I have been thinking.
I don't think we should be trained into money making and obeying people

Instead
I think I should make homes for the insects I see hiding in the bushes
I think I should make a warm bath for my guardian
I think I should not be as afraid of dancing with the one I love
I think I should dare to pick a berry from a bush and eat it.

Let me not forget about the ruthless beauty of our existence
Teach me how to love it
How to survive

Curriculum creator, let us utilize our classrooms in the most healthy way possible
to let us slowly breath in and breathe out into a new, sustainable, generation
where both mine and Sarah’s, and Noa’s, and Mischa and Mohammed’s and Aisha’s belly can be full
So that we can play
And progress.
Exist

Curriculum creator, let us merge all documented knowledge to meet our basic needs in the most effective way possible
let me tell you what I need
and then maybe we could create a space within which we can survive
and thrive.

Let me care
And then perhaps
You can promise me a future.

this is a poem i have made about a potential future

I would like to see a future where people can afford more, where rents are affordable and there is enough housing for everyone. I would like to see better healthcare for everyone and for people to live happily and peacefully together.

Silna demokratyczna Europa
Zjednoczona Europa rządzona przez demokratów, wyrugowanie populistów i faszystów oraz przyjaciół reżimowych przywódców. Pełna izolacja gospodarcza i polityczna Rosji. Siły zbrojne Europy znacznie przewyższające siłę armii rosyjskiej. Wspólne prawa wykluczające legalną działalność takich partii jak AFP w Niemczech, PiS w Polsce czy Le Pen we Francji.Wspólna europejska konstytucja zakazująca jakichkolwiek ruchów faszystowskich, dopuszczająca legalną aborcję i gwarantująca prawa mniejszości. Samowystarczalność gospodarcza i militarna Unii Europejskiej. Dbałość o środowisko naturalne i odwracanie skutków globalnego ocieplenia.

Elämää Mars planeetalla
For almost three years, I have been one of the first colonists to live on Mars. After 2025, planet Earth will suffer unprecedented ecological disasters, not helped by worsening overpopulation. In 2035, the Earth's population will have exceeded 12 billion, so some people will have had to leave in search of new habitable worlds. The journey to Mars took six months and was extremely physically and mentally demanding. Perhaps we colonists can avoid all the mistakes humanity made on Earth. Maybe Mars will one day become a new Earth where humanity can start again.

Pokojowe współistnienie
It's 2040, after all the bad elections, the people have finally understood that they can't let the far right come to power. A united Europe has put pressure on Russia and the US, so that the people of these countries have stopped believing the populists and are electing democratic leaders. The European Union's army guards order, and more and more countries want to join the union to benefit from the protection its army provides. Wise management of resources has allowed the development of science, whose achievements allow mitigation of climate change and improved communications. The sanctions imposed on pharmaceutical companies are slowly changing the face of the companies, they are no longer profit-driven and the approach to the health of people and society is key.
