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

weniger Sorgen, mehr Sicherheit
Traffic collapse was prevented by the presence of hyperloops and cable cars in major cities. A new invention of a foldable solar panel enables easy and fast charging of electric cars, which by further development cost no more than a normal vehicle, making driving affordable not only for the wealthy. Since every house or residential unit generates enough solar energy, the horrendous energy costs of 2025 have also fallen and people can afford to eat again and daily shopping has also reached the pre-crisis level. Vertical indoor farming means that fruits and vegetables can also be grown in the colder regions and, by eliminating the long transport routes, are also cheaper. With the wise investment of a European fund, every citizen gets 1000 euros of basic assets to cover the basic needs and many people have more time to make important inventions for society and to develop existing things further. Europe is so united on the migration question that Germany no longer bears the brunt of the refugees alone and because it is better able to take care of the individual persons, the attacks are also falling.

Une grande partie de la population suit des formations pour apprendre à réparer, transformer, recycler. Les savoir-faire techniques se sont démocratisés. On a mis fin à l’obsolescence programmée des biens de consommation. Les entreprises se sont adaptées, l’artisanat est en plein essor. L’agriculture privilégie les circuits courts. On a remis les mains dans la terre. Des millions de personnes ont changé de boulot ou diversifié leurs activités, et ce quel que soit leur niveau de qualification

In times when technology will have increased life expectancy even more, the community will have ways to collaborate with older people of age in terms of less wasteful care and illnesses less deleterious to quality of life. Consequently, an eventual improvement for the lives of the sick and elderly as a result of efficiencies in facilities and machinery aimed at care , will save time that can be invested in sharing and getting individual family members to participate more and more actively in group work that is aimed at improving society. The income will not only be for living experiences and thinking about a job will not have to work too long shifts but also enjoy life at home and with friends

The world has changed. We have become more progressive, more open and much more tolerant. We have evolved in terms of building economic strength, promoting innovation and progress in general - but also in terms of humanity and tolerance. Because there are no more wars and certainly no more weapons! These have been banned by law and their misuse made punishable. People are doing well. They are industrious and work hard - but they also appreciate and love their "freedom". Work-life balance is now properly practiced and implemented by the people. Social benefits have been reformed and partially abolished. EVERYONE has to do something for the community and make a contribution in order to be paid fairly, because nothing comes from nothing! This is important and creates community. Furthermore, the laws on violent crime have been extremely tightened, so that there is hardly any crime - and if there is, then only petty criminals. People finally feel safe again, everywhere in the world. There is peaceful co-existence between all people.
