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

I hope that in 2040 there will be no shortage of doctors and no such long queues. I hope that all medicine in Lithuania will have improved. In 2040 it will be easier to live, the state will give money to its citizens, I think it will be easier for young families to buy a house, and there will be no shortage of places in kindergartens. There will be no need to have to save for a second pillar pension.

All the children would be warmly clothed and fed. All pupils would learn well and there would be no failing grades. All working people would earn enough to buy the food they want, and wear new clothes. Disabled people and pensioners would also have enough money to buy all the food they want, enough money to travel, and not have to be sad to see people in other countries.

Delusions of a chronically online liberal girliepop
People that aren’t white cis men would have equity and equal opportunities and hate crimes would be punished more seriously than regular crimes of the same seriousness. There would be less cars, more trains connecting europe, more rentable bikes, more trams and less noise pollution in bigger cities (metros). Food that is wasted from restraunts or school caffeterias would be given to people struggling to eat and there would be free healthcare and education for everyone.

In my perfect future, as Europeans, we live in peace with each other, not just side by side. There is no longer a war, because it is not a few who determine a country, but one who determines it together. There are no more poor and super-rich, all people can live well and freely. With energy produced by the sun, wind and hydro, not from gas or other combustion. Those who do not abide by the fundamental values must leave the community.
