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

Hello, It's October 4, 2040, and today I'm 86 years old, Madam's age is advanced, as I was able to move in 2030, I live in an apartment so I'm not complaining, there's an elevator. What's more, I live in the city, so I'm close to all amenities. The public transport service is efficient, there's a bus (without a driver) every 5 minutes - yes, people don't get around town much with their cars any more. My apartment is practically always clean, thanks to a robot that does the housework every day, and housekeepers now only intervene when people are disorientated. It's the same for cooking and washing, but the robot is there (not very chatty), and it's sorely lacking in subtlety - you have to give it clear orders, or it doesn't understand. Social relations, that depends. The building where I live is intergenerational, but people get together by affinity, so we tend to get together only when we need each other.

Βελτίωση των ΜΜΜ και μείωση της μόλυνσης του περιβάλλοντος
I would like to see the commute evolve and become safer, but also more comfortable. I would like all public transport to be controlled by remote control, so that there are no accidents, but also so that people can travel safely, comfortably and reach their destination quickly. Also, I would like to see good management of garbage so that the environment is not polluted, but also to take steps to reduce the environmental crisis.

Zeleni svijet 2040: Održiva budućnost za sve
In the future, the world will switch to 100% renewable energy sources-solar, wind, geothermal and other clean technologies. Fossil fuels are a thing of the past, but thanks to innovations in energy storage and affordable grids, the world has a stable and ecologically acceptable electricity supply.

Sretnija i zdravija buducnost
I live in 2040. People are happy, content, healthy. There is no mourning, no cats are not standing. Industries are closed. People are secure because they believe in each other, they help each other. Natural products are being used. Politicians are only here to listen to the people. Technology is here or only at the service of man. There are no rich people to rule the world. Food is home-grown, untreated with childish pesticides and artificial fertilisers. There is enough food for everyone. People live in harmony with nature. Nature and the world of life are being restored.
