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

Det jämlika samhället
In the future, people will be more equal and tolerant. Parties on the extreme right ceased to exist when people realized that populism and hatred only divide society and harm everyone. When all people are given the same conditions, regardless of gender or background, the enormous social and economic inequality in society disappears - the richest lost their assets through various efforts such as higher taxes for the rich and demands that they contribute more to society.

Mi-ar placea...
I would like every country to be sovereign in the year 2040. To decide fully on its own resources and to collaborate with other countries on the basis of their own resources and in the spirit of common profit for each party. I would like no more unwarranted elections to be canceled and all sorts of coups d'etats to be given that do not take place even in third world countries. I wish there wasn't a class of super rich people and one of those super poor people. Invest a lot in health and education. Amen!

By 2040, I'm imagining a peaceful future. There are no wars anywhere in the world, people pay more attention to each other. Without more advanced technology, 20 years will not pass, and artificial intelligence will gain more and more ground. I believe in the power of personal relationships.

After the collapse of Russia, caused by its defeat after the failed invasion of Ukraine, EU stepped up their federalization process. No longer dependent on the US, EU economy thrives. Ukraine is stil recovering after the war but has made good progress on their path for EU integration.
