Our world

by: Regina Gonçalves 11ºCT1

I decided to give my interpretation about one of my favourite songs called “the consequences of sound” by Regina Spektor.

 this song really made me think how difficult it is to claim for a better world as, in fact, we are so involved in our own little world that we forget about the nature, the air we breath, the people around us who are screaming for help. Sometimes it’s really difficult to say a word and make a difference, to make a move and change what’s wrong. In the modern life style, indifference plays a big role, we know the world is falling to pieces thanks to wars, violence, lack of tolerance, pollution … but we still don’t care that much, even with all that blood and catastrophes we see at night on the news. So, we turn the volume on because silence is hard to take, it would make us think about all the consequences of our indifference and it would make us realise that at the end “the world that has made us will no longer sustain us”.

On the other hand, some people really care about the world but they feel like there’s nothing they can do to make it better. Sometimes we wish we could erase the entire problem just with a click but we are not able to find the button.

As human beings that we are, we shouldn’t prefer to live isolated even when surrounded by millions of people because someday we will die and nobody will notice, nobody will hold our hand. We should make a try and fight for a better world where the global Nation is tolerant, respectful, with conscience, a better world where nobody wants to enslave nobody, a better world where people talk to each other.

I think this song has a strong message that makes us think and look around for what is in need to be done.
