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

Free, easy travel by public transport throughout the EU. Lots of greenery, no overpopulation. Economic equality, not overly expensive (rental) homes. Velig and clean. There is always supervision that can intervene quickly, and streets and homes are well cared for. There are fewer cars and people have faith in science. Veganism is much more popular.

I sit in my garden and breathe clean, scented air.In my sight is a forest and in it a multitude of animals.No private cars,only public transport.Everything is socially owned:my house,the company where I work,health,school... Every household has a dog, cat or some other domestic animal that it takes care of.Human rights are at a very high level and all are respected.At work it is allowed to come with pets.By winter I heat myself on electric heaters, and electricity is not expensive because it arises only from renewable energy sources.My city is full of parks where trees are not cut down because it is rotten. but when it is dried or wilted. The branches of the trees are not cut and circumcised and therefore the movement of people is restricted.

Europe and the world are currently experiencing political tensions caused by several ill-equipped leaders. The Russian president's war in Ukraine makes people feel fearful, and the American president's speeches are just worthy of the title of comedian. These inadequate people rule a large part of humanity, causing chaos, fear and confusion. If the political situation changes, we can continue to live in peace and tranquility without fear of a possible war. Such a future, and I hope that we will live in peace, without fear, and that the government will be represented by intelligent leaders. Utopian society, in which there is no place for corruption, lies, anger, greed, should be an aspiration.

In 2030, there was a war in Europe involving the use of tactical nuclear weapons in a restricted area. As a result of the war, dozens of cities were destroyed, and nuclear pollution spread to the territories of warring parties and neutral countries under the influence of winds, causing a large number of civilian casualties. As the consequences became widely known throughout the world, the demand for a total ban on nuclear weapons arose. This led, especially in the nuclear powers, to the fall of governments and, in a few years, to the deactivation of nuclear weapons everywhere. In 2040, atomic power was harnessed exclusively for civilian use - mainly for the production of energy and heat. The main focus is on local small-scale power plants, whose patent rights are freely available to all countries. Fossil energy use has decreased significantly: or in very sparsely populated areas, it remains the most advantageous option overall. Even the smog that plagued China's big cities has practically disappeared. At the same time, green construction in urban areas has taken over the sector in almost every part of the world. The roofs of the apartment buildings are like gardens. The use of geothermal heat has become more common, while fields and forest squares covered with solar panels have been restored to their natural state. Wind farms are set up either at sea or further away from settlements, although higher installation and energy transmission costs cause critical debate.
