You can promise me a future.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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

L'immigrazione è stata controllata
I live in a Europe where only legal immigrants who have been allowed to remain and are perfectly integrated are welcomed, not illegal immigrants who enter illegally without documents and do not want to integrate. I live in a Europe where we must no longer be afraid of terrorist attacks, attacks or bloodshed perpetrated by extremist and Islamised irregular immigrants who endanger the survival of the very values and ideals of a united Europe.

I wish for a world in harmony. People have learned again to focus on the important and right things. The common good has come to the fore and serious grievances, wars and poverty are a thing of the past. The world is our common good and that is how everyone treats it. We not only pay more attention to our fellow human beings, but also to our environment and do our best together - for the future of our children. They can enjoy nature to the full and discover the wonders of the world. Because healthy people can only live in a healthy world.

There is unity, standards are in place. All the electrical sockets are the same in every country, and in every country you drive on the same side of the road. Prices and national economies are stable and the same, so everyone gets paid the same and shops have the same prices. Life has been made very simple. There are no bureaucratic obstacles. You are free to live in any country you want without restrictions.

Europa 2050: Sopravvivere un Altro Giorno
I wake up with the usual burning in my throat. The air here in Milan is unbreathable, full of fine dust. The window is closed, but the smell of burnt plastic still manages to filter through. It has not rained as it used to for years, and when it does, the water is acidic. I take the filter mask and go down to the street. There are no more electric buses or public bicycles: After the 2038 energy crisis, public transport collapsed and only those who can afford the black market for fuel still drive. Through the city between abandoned buildings and advertising screens that broadcast propaganda. Since the European Union crumbled, trade wars between the new micro-nations have continued. I arrive at the office, a semi-empty skyscraper. Much of the work is now automated, and those who remain cling desperately to a measly salary. We all know that the future will not improve, but no one has the strength to fight anymore.
