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

Utopija
We live in a world where there is no authority, where there is a horizontal hierarchy. People dare to speak their minds without fear of repercussions. Every opinion is welcomed and accepted with respect. All employees have the same working conditions, similar bonuses and the pay gap is much smaller. Work/life balance has become a reality.

Utopija
People will not chase money, but virtue will be universally accepted as the greatest wealth. As a result, attitudes towards food and hunger in the world will change, as there will be no more exploitation of the poor for the vested interests of the rich. People will respect different opinions, even if they disagree with them, and radical forms of thinking based on religious and racial beliefs will be eradicated. People will live in style and help each other, we will realise that wealth must be shared fairly among people, and the exploitation of natural resources will not go beyond the limits of what is acceptable.

Το μέλλον μου
I would like to be healthy and eat healthy food. I want the prices of products to go down. To have two more dogs and be able to provide my family with everything they need. Travel to Europe to be more affordable so that we can come in contact with other peoples often. My country's economy to be improved and legislation to be changed according to progressive changes that are taking place in Europe. The prices of rents to fall. Raise wages so that people can live decently. It is very difficult to implement all this as there is no credible government so I hope by then a proper leader has been found. The country needs to evolve a lot to reach the standards of Europe. I would like to have improved roads and reduced cars as well as improving the transport system within the capital. Health care in public hospitals should be improved so that people are referred there.

Budoucí Evropa
Great strides will be made in medicine. Antibiotics will be found to prevent bacterial resistance. There will be great successes in the treatment of paralysis. There will continue to be free trade in Europe, but countries will deal with national matters at national level and the European Union will not be allowed to dictate to them what to do. The internal combustion engine will remain, we will move away from the Green Deal and we will be competitive in the industrial sector. Energy prices will change, where we will sell up to surpluses and finally energy prices will come down. Nuclear generation will be boosted. The Czech Republic will be militarily neutral and will not be involved in the military actions of the North Atlantic Alliance. More high-rise buildings will be built and housing will become much more accessible and affordable for the citizens of the Czech Republic. As a result of these measures, the birth rate will rise and people will be better off. Migration policy will be adjusted, with migrants being kept in refugee centres until asylum is granted and not among ordinary people.
