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

Nel futuro
Let's imagine a more sustainable future, in 2040, where technology and respect for the environment have finally integrated harmoniously. In this ideal future, cities have become environmentally sustainable, with smart buildings producing more energy than they consume, thanks to the use of solar panels, integrated wind turbines and rainwater recovery technologies. Transport has become fully electric and autonomous, with shared vehicle fleets drastically reducing traffic and pollution. People travel with ecological means that not only do not emit CO2, but are powered by renewable energy. In the city, green areas have increased, with vertical parks and community gardens improving air quality and creating social spaces.

Technology Advanced.
The 15 years that have passed has seen a leap forward in technology. Driverless cars are an everyday item now. This has led to little or no road deaths and accidents. All cars are electric now. No more gas emissions or air pollution. AI is now everyone's choice when doing anything. Every facade of life is covered. Medicine is all technology now. From autobot doctors to surgical procedures.

Het leven in de toekomst
Houses consist of energy sources with glass that generates electricity, the shape of the houses are more built in the ground. We no longer drive a car but fly around in automatic space planes that work on solar energy. For holidays we fly to the moon and other planets. And all people speak one language

Turvattu talous mahdollistaa hyvän tulevaisuuden
I would like the future to be prosperous enough for a large part of the population, especially in Europe. Prosperity requires politicians and other people in decision-making positions to understand their responsibilities and economic realities. A sound economy makes it possible to pay attention to issues that are important to everyone, such as the environment and good public health. I hope that decision-makers will be able to focus on more than just bottle caps and the number of plastic bags. Ensuring a peaceful environment also requires a strong defensive will. I would love to see countries other than Finland, Poland and the Baltic States seriously investing in defence. In economic terms, I would like Europe to be able to meet the challenges of the U.S. and China. Of course, it requires a great deal of investment in education and research, as well as the use of reason by decision-makers. With regard to the environment, I do not expect a major disaster. Russia could have broken up into several countries.
