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

Élhető Európa
Mitigating climate change is one of the most important challenges facing humanity today. Freshwater supplies and green areas in Europe must be preserved. The houses of the future will therefore be covered with vast green surfaces, producing their own energy. Electric and automated vehicles will take the lead in transport. In our homes, humanoid robots will help us in every day life.

Εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα
Education in Greece and in Belgium, where I lived and worked as a teacher for a while, is at a tragic level. Teachers and infrastructure need to be given more attention by governments, otherwise the future of the European Union is bleak. We need a plan and funding, expertise, and people who know what they are doing, not just politicians who want kickbacks and get involved in fields they do not know about only to poison something beautiful and reap personal benefits through corruption and dirty methods.

Europe is dying
It's 2040 and Europe was conquered my muslims. Now everyone must follow the Quran and fear the Sharia law. When we wanted unity, we didn't mean this. I wish that we could turn back time and realise that we're being invaded, however that's not possible. The european values are dying and I fear that there is no future. Whoever managed to leave are the lucky ones, now it's close to impossible.
