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

Budúcnosť udržateľnosti
In 2040, I would imagine a future where sustainability is a natural part of everyday life. My dream is a world in which we have switched to clean energy, effectively recycling and minimising waste. I imagine cities full of greenery, smart, self-generating buildings, and transport systems powered by renewable resources. Technology should be our ally – artificial intelligence and robotics would make our work easier and give us more time for family, education and creativity. Healthcare would be accessible and personalised, with advanced genetics and biotechnology, we would be able to prevent most diseases. But the most important thing is to move as a society towards greater empathy and cooperation. The world in 2040 should not only be technologically advanced, but also more humane, where people value nature, education and mutual respect more.

All countries would be the same and no conflicts in the world so everyone would be better off everyone would strive for the same environmental goals and cooperation better More people working and paying less in taxes longer vacations and shorter working day it would make people healthier and happier and we would have more time to be with our children and it would make them better people of course

I envision a future in 2040 where the environment has undergone significant improvements. The world has switched to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower, which has significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Cities are full of green spaces where parks and gardens are accessible to all residents. Efficient recycling technologies have become standard and waste reduction is part of everyday life. Transport is fully electrified, with public transport that is fast, reliable and accessible. Education focuses on environmental awareness, where children learn the importance of protecting nature from an early age. People are more connected to nature and aware of the impact of their actions on the environment.

I wish there was peace all over the world. That we share and no one has to suffer hunger anymore; humanity has climate change under control. It hasn't gotten hotter; there is enough water and everything is growing well; in politics, people are so smart and don't vote for right-wing radicals. There is no Trump and no Putin. All countries are striving for democracy. There is freedom of speech everywhere.
