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

Den perfekte fremtid
For mig ville den bedre fremtid besstå af et mere mangfoldigt verden, mere social lighed og accept af forskellige individer, en verden/et Europa i harmoni uden krig. Et sundheds system som snakker sammen og hjælper, en verden hvor hvert individ tager ansvar for klima og naturen. Jeg ville ønske der var plads til at ydre sin holdning på en rolig måde, og at der var accept af forskelligheder og forskellige holdninger.

Frihet, Demokrati, medmänsklighet
I hope there is a world and a Europe left to live in then. That humanity understood that it must take care of nature, climate, earth, people that it understood the importance of cooperation and democracy. My kids found themselves and had a good life. I'm probably retired then. I hope that I have enough pension to cope with life and that I have the health to cope with myself.

Marzenia do spełnienia
My future is the future of my children and my grandchildren , it is joy , health and love . It is our country without feuds and disputes , an economically stable country . Poland with a healthy climate , healthy food and good health care . It is a country with secure borders , without homophobia and Nazis . A place that is safe for everyone , regardless of origin , religions or skin color . My future is people who are friendly and tolerant , who care about the wider environment , animals and those citizens who have failed in life. Thinking about the future I hope for an even more united and independent Europe , mutual respect of nations . It is a Europe without wars and conflicts . It is more colorful and joyful, leaders make joint decisions, all Europeans have equal rights and responsibilities, help each other and take care of each other. My loved ones are looking forward to traveling, getting to know other countries and nations. Grandchildren have their own homes, without taking out loans, work in line with their aspirations and happy families, and grandparents have a dignified old age without worries and can realize their hidden dreams.
