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

Was stelle ich mit meiner Freizeit an?
I discuss the weekly program with my computer and we decide to go on a round trip during the week and play the best golf courses in the area. While I am at the breakfast table, which is also a screen, still assembling the utensils that the robot should bring out of the box and pack for me, the car is already supplied by the computer with the necessary routes and the cargo, the computer reserves for me the accommodations and the leisure activities. While driving, the car drives me independently to the destination, I can look at the world news in peace and browse the culinary offer of my destinations, check the hotel reservations of my computer and maybe change. Particularly important are the reservations of the flying, self-controlled helicopters, which let me "fly" and explore the area. I'm sure I'll get information on which of my friends and acquaintances are nearby. This will be a great week for sure!

Indietro nel futuro
March 2040. It's not cold, the weather is mild, dry and cool, it's spring! Tour the streets of a green city, low houses, well-kept flower beds and parks, but also meadows and woods in lontantanza; people smile, with a serene, satisfied air, no trace of anxiety. Mi immagino un orrore alla "Macchina del tempo", la sera con l'oscurità queste anime candide cammineranno come agnelli verso il loro destino, cibo per orrendi mostri del sottosuolo (o sottosopra) E invece no, scopro che semplicemente l'umanità pare avere trovato un equilibrio, dopo aver corso sfrenatamente verso il baratro dello sconvolgimento climatico, dopo un decennio di politiche contraddittorie, tra governi negazionisti e guerrafondai che hanno esaurito totalmente le risorse naturali del pianeta in nome del potere e del diritto al benessere, e altri pseudoambientalisti che hanno quasi provocato l'estinzione di migliaia di razze animali da allevamento e varietà colturali antiche con pratiche agricole intensive e aggressive, tentando invano di sconfiggere la fame nel mondo .... ora tutto è tranquillo. The decimated humanity, forced to a thousand renunciations after an indigestion of hatred and unbridled well-being has understood the lesson. It started from scratch, but not really: Earth is now repaying with new resources, new elements, new abundance. Now I can go home.

Toekomst van hoop
I hope for a future with accessible services for all citizens and clear rules regarding housing and migration. I hope for all world countries to join a collective vowing to ensure that there will never be war again. I hope for freedom to be who you are, but clear and concrete guidelines, such as having two genders. I hope for accessibility to culture and the arts and mandatory artistic classes in schools.

Vi kan!
År 2040, om 15 år, har världen hittat en stabilitet inom fredsområdet. Både inom och utom Europa samarbetar man för att inga områden längre ska hotas av krig. Parallellt med detta har världens alla länder tagit krafttag för att påverka jordens klimat och miljö i rätt riktning. En riktning som inte enbart styrs med ekonomiska intressen i förgrunden. Inom Sveriges egna gränser får välfärdssamhället för första gången på flera decennier ett uppsving, så att inte bara anslag ökas, utan även att kvaliten inom verksamheterna blir bättre genom kloka beslut. Människors tro på framtiden stärks och oberoende undersökningar att jorden går åt rätt håll.
