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

I would like it to be a Europe without wars, but perhaps it is not so easy to civilise certain nations. There will probably be a conflict in Europe. It may be possible to reduce CO2 emissions and in this respect Europe will be a green island on the globe. I also think that by 2040 today's youth will be intellectually mature and there will be a different perspective on the issues of protecting the planet.

Enfin libres !
Since the politicians were fired and some put in jail, the mayors have taken control and everything is better. Local agriculture and industry are growing and people are working and consuming locally. Social networks have collapsed and children and young people are finally finding themselves in the streets and parks. Young people are encouraged to read and exchange on their readings. History and classic literature have become models that inspire respect and encourage creation. There have been no more crimes and incivility since the principle of Zero Tolerance was put in place, following a unanimous referendum.

For the year 2040, I would like to see no more wars, the world should live together globally and peacefully, the climate should have improved and we should live together peacefully and in harmony with nature. Everything that leads to a better life should be digitally feasible. Socially, there should no longer be any exclusions or prejudices that could lead to conflict. We should put an end to the exploitation of our planet and its people. Politicians from all countries should work together to create a better world and put everyone's interests first. The population should also become more sensible and do their part, which for me means doing without enormous consumption and using the available resources more sensibly.
