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

LIBRE ET EGAUX
In 2040 I would like the earth to be conflict-free and the climate to be rediscovered as normal that people on earth do not seek to leave their country but live in their country with all the comforts, in fact that there is no more climate immigration or economic immigration, in fact that men are equal all over the earth.

Soon retired there will be good more time for travel. Europe has gotten out of shit in 2022-2026 now we are stronger travel is done sleepless and easy throughout Europe. Borders are signs and dots on a map. All countries have kept their language but English is for most fluent. Europe and the world have found solutions to many diseases. Europe has a common defence force, the threshold level has such a deterrent that we can regard it as peace. Technology and innovation have solved both the energy issue and the climate threat.

In 2024 I would like humanity to live in peace, without wars and gratuitous nastiness, with more tolerance toward other human beings and non-human beings. I would like nature to be more respected and to live in harmony with it, producing only the bare minimum, eliminating luxury and everything that is actually not needed. Using natural resources more respectfully and in a less invasive way

If I put myself in the year 2040, then the whole world is united. There are no wars and the last weapons are being destroyed. The climate catastrophe has not materialized and world trade is flourishing. Life expectancy has increased because a cure for ageing has been invented. It can go on like this.
