This is a result of deforestation. Does anyone remember in the eightys that maggascar was synonymous with extreme deforestation? Actions have major consequences in an already bad situation.
This is not deforestation, it's just an arid region and DW is spreading fake news (see my reply above). These are bad journalists that do not have any sources.
Yes I agree with this Mò Zi. The people of brazil should take this as an example of what happens when you recklessly deforest huge areas for a few years of farming and fuel for the furnace. And the people of madagascar should try some permaculture and reforestation.
Oh, wait. They allready took up all the reasons why madagascar is in this sorry state in the video. I should have watched the whole thing before i started commenting. But they should really try to find ways to collect the rainwater when it comes. Or else it will just sweep away the soil in the process. Boring new wells is not really a solution. Just look at California. Not really a sustainable concept going on over there..
A truly eye opening documentary, sad to know this situation happen in 21 century and being ashamed for taking all for granted, from food, clean water to education…wish that i could help them 🥲 Good job DW for making this documentary ⚡️
One of the best documentaries I watched on such an important issue. From Australia. DW gets the best topics that need everyone's attention. Interviewing local people and the challenges they face was very well captured. Thank you so much, DW. You are awakening us to be mindful of our actions in our daily life. How every effort of change matters and how it impacts others somewhere else.

but authorities don't do their work as need to it. the best enemy is UN, who not supporting where needed, and said their only some 5 country eho have veto can stop resolution becoz they r superior. and rest 99% countries suffer from that.
I have been there, and in every village you come, you see at least 7 to 9 siblings running out of each and every single little hut. Even the most productive climate can not keep up with that.
The lady rural doctor was right: to solve the problem of hunger, solve the population problem first. It's really appalling that in the midst of a famine, people still have time to churn out babies like there's no problem at all.
Some nations just have no common sense. If you cannot feed yourself , then how on earth can you feed 6 children?......this is self inflicted in my opinion.
Nature takes care of itself; humans are the problem. I have seen at least a third of all food production buried on large farms, in the USA alone. I have seen it in Africa and Europe, and Asia. I have seen thousands of acres of land deforested in Africa to sell lumber to China, it is still going on, supermarkets hotels, food outlets, etc dump thousands, and thousands of pounds of food weekly. this includes other countries. I worked on a large farm for a while and saw all this, if all that food was put on the market the prices would be peanuts for the owners. I was in Cambodia where hundreds of families were self sufficient, living by the sea, and off the land for hundreds of years, the government tricked them and confiscated the land. Know what is growing there now? A five star hotel. Over fishing of the oceans for profit for the rich. Hundreds of miles of golf courses in the USA alone. Billions spent to create wars and weaponry. Believe me, there is more than enough for everyone, but the rich takes more than their share. So few with so much, so many with nothing
It is just about polítics and economics. No country has been listening for the past 30 years what scientists alerted. And now they want us to believe they care. No real change is being done.
An eye opening documentary to what is coming to most parts of the world. Man made Catastrophe definitely. Cutting down all the forests and natural vegetation resulting in drought. So heartbreaking watching all these people suffering and the magnitude of this is beyond belief.
Being Malagasy, I wish I could do something to help my own compatriots. This could be avoided but the government does not want to get the situation solved as they are taking advantage of the crisis by being attributed international financial help. We have rain all along the year in the East and the project of pulling out water from the near region has been set in place for at least a decade ago, but so far it still remains a dream. Recently, a student had an idea of sea desalination. He even came to build a homemade machine, something that needs to be supported but we did not hear a word from the authority. More probably he was told to stop or I don't know. This is a shame!
Impacts of Climate Change on Mankind's survival n sustainance are huge concern n challenges not only in Madagascar but across the Globe, yet our Global leadership seem sitting precariously.So sad to see there--My heartfelt prayers n hope... From India ♥️

Well it doesn't make sense but it makes sense. If people in developed countries are having babies (mistakenly, meaning it wasn't planned and they have access to contraceptive) then it's not hard to see how poorer people without access to contraceptive and education can mistakenly get pregnant.

This reminds me of China's afforestation in its northwest. They planted trees in the desert to prevent sandstorms and drought. It took decades to complete. This experience is worth thinking about and learning from for the people of Madagascar.
In America, anything CCP does. U.S. has to do the opposite. Communism, politics, and all that noise. Our "patriots" would rather be dead than follow CCP's path! Me? I'm not as extreme. Just a dirty, socialist scum.

In Madagascar do you believe In The Most High YAH??. You use all the things He has made, but do you ever thank Him for what He has given. Do you allow for The Sabbath day of rest. Do you allow the Land to rest in the 7th year. Do you observe a Jubilee Year. Why have you not yet gotten piped water to your homes, or wells drilled in Your Land to bring water 💦 to the People??? Have a National Day of prayer where you each confess your sins on your knees before The Messiah, Read Psalms 51: 1 and pray it as a prayer. Thank The Most High YAH for all He has given and pray for rain 🌧️☔. If any of you believe this and keep up the prayers Yah will send rain 🌧️☔ regularly. you cannot just live in YAH'S world 🌍 using up all His Blessings everyday without thanking Him. Are you all pagans... If you cannot Praise Yah and thank Him daily you will all die off for failure to acknowledge The Creator of The Universe and all your Land that you have lived on for years without Thanksgiving... Do it to live ,,, Pray To YAH FOR RAIN 🌧️☔ and when He sends it,,, be sure to give Him Thanks as a People Created By HIM!!!

Did anyone see the Madagascar episode of worlds worst prisons. It was so crowded when they slept beside eachother they all had to be on the same side and someone would stay up and call out every couple of hours for everyone to turn over to the other side because that's the only way they could fit stacked like sardines. They had a shed full of these plant roots that had to be boiled for hours just to make them edible and thats all they got to eat once a day.
No only did the maniok take hours to cook, it was often also rotten and not nutrious enough, so that you would slowly get poisend, if you only it the plant. Also they had to put up traps for the rats, because their was the possibility that they would spread the plague. Malagasy are truly suffering. 😔

Not only Madagascar but also Southern Africa, they cut down trees for fuel and not replace them, whoever is pushing the blame on us is doing a good job.
Too many people for given amount of water. Simply reduce headcount, problem solved. For reference, check Madagascar population in 1820, that is natural sustainable headcount.

The first time I heard someone say the ugh birth rate is the main problem. Men having more than one wife and ten children by each wife. Women having six to eight kids , way too much for them and for agencies to handle.
I wish the governments give an immediate action to solve the severe crisis of the Malagasy citizens. Hope people in the government authorities have the courage to create a solutions to meet the needs of the people. May the Lord God have mercy to these people..
Madagascar in my opinion has the potential to develop greatly...they just lack effective and decisive leadership which unfortunately affects the citizens as shown here
@@milesinnz In the catholic areas of the world in South America and Europe catholics have a whopping birthrate of 2 per family. Only in africa do catholics have large families, which has more to do with poverty than religion. Muslims continue having large families even when in the west.

It's just that our government is so corrupted. They only care about themselves and just pretend "to help" the population. It's really difficult to get Madagascar out of poverty because our system education is out of date but still expensive so most people can't afford school and it leads to them not thinking properly, destroying our environment to only be the victim of their consequences later on. It's really sad and pathetic to know that there's a link between all of that but the majority isn't really aware

The lack of rainfall in southern Madagascar has nothing to do with climate change, but is caused by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Just read Grove et al (2013): “Madagascar corals reveal a multidecadal signature of rainfall and river runoff since 1708”. They've shown the sea surface temperature (SST) of the Great Ocean and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) influence the amount of rainfall over the years. This is comparable to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (Leupold et al 2021).
False I study satellite photos of South Madagascar vegetation..... and every decades more dry .... Of course, population pressure do aggravation.... by global climate change
@@finestshrestha4219 If you would actually read the scientific paper by Grove et al I referred to, you would know the effect of PDO is cyclical, and every cycle takes about 60-70 years. Since satellites have been around for about 30 years, there is no way for you to observe this trend by satellite-images. Facts......

People in Madagascar keep burning down their natural environment to grow rice and other crops. They dont farm sustainably. After depleting their soil, they just burn down some more bushes. It also doesn't help that the average woman has 4 children.
@@zedianerkatwishi3930 Britain's overall birthrate is pretty low though, if one person wants a big family in those conditions it's fine. When everyone has big families and there's nothing left on your island... it is game over unless you quickly stop having kids!
My heart is aching for grandma and all her grandchildren. This is beyond shame not only to the Madagascar Government but to all the contributors of global warming as well.
Why do you think "global warming" is the cause? Were you aware that the arid country of Israel now has complete water security and is even exporting it to other countries? . This problem in Madagascar is directly caused by poorly educated people.

The rain stopped falling because they didn’t replant all the trees they cut down. It’s not anybody else’s fault but their own. Deforestation leads directly to desertification.
My heart hurts to see this people don't have access to such basic important necessity like water kids can't go to school as to hustle water for food not having a proper place to lay there head can't bath and take care of there self its so hard for them and hard for me to see

One oddity about countries like Madagascar is that the water shortage has been an issue for years, yet they continue to have children at a phenomenal rate - 3.9 per woman. This ranks them as 36th out of 193 nations. It is not fair to the children to bring them up in an area where it would be difficult to even raise one child. I realize this is an entirely different issue, but I wonder if the families give that any thought?
One oddity l notice, no one is talking here about the men, using women as cattle, pretending they're wives, so they can indulge in their urges....if any contraception needs to be implemented, its on them. Yet, no one wants to expose and address this evil of injustice, eh?
Same was the case in Yemen. They won't slow down until it's too late. They are not highly informed people and only really know what's right in front of them; they do not think about these types of things.
I remembered that there is an old woman said :” it should be rain at this time .” The climate change have a really negative impact on their life ,and what we could do as a tiny human being ,just trying to make some small actions , still remember that in the another side of this world ,they are suffering.

13-18 children??!! Holy crap! Like why would you keep having children knowing what you are bringing them into? This didn't happen overnight. It's been on going for generations due to their families cutting down trees. I feel for the people, but it seems like a self inflicted wound.

People talked about climate change a lot these days but no one has talked about the world population growth. Is there any connection between these miseries and uncontrolled human population growth? On this planet only human population is not controlled rather than other creatures which population are controlled by human wants! Take the population ballance of cows and sheep used to be in the invisible hands. But now their population grow with the human population growth. Surely human behaviours significantly impact on the environment they rely upon for surviving. While taking about climate change, human population growth problems cannot be ignored.
No, climate change and other environmental problems aren’t chiefly caused by overpopulation, it has always been greed. The richest 1% of the population emit twice more than the poorest 50%, the top 100 companies account for 70%+ of all emmissions etc etc. Make no mistake, environmental degradation is and has always been caused by developped countries.
If the area used to have a lot of rain, there is likely to be aquifers under the dry land. Doesn't anyone in Madagascar have the simple technology to drill wells? Also, besides the edible cactus fruit the cactus is also edible. Mexicans call it "nopalitos". The "leaves" are scraped of the spines and chopped up and cooked.
Sorry but this has to be one of the most western comments I’ve seen… I guess if they had the simple technology or the means to drill a well they would have done it already. They’re not dumb. And let’s say there are aquifers that can be tapped into… those will only hold as long as they’re refilled by rain that seeps in the ground and the groundwater will take it down to the aquifer. Otherwise it’s just a sort of happy hour for water till it dries up 😢
As someone who's grown up in a poor village, I highly doubt they have the technology to do this. They don't have the machines, the pumps, or the pipes to get the water out. They seem to be much poorer than the village I was from. I hope relief comes to the children and the people soon.
@Azuri e have you actually had to dig a well? How would you go about looking for where the aquifers are located? In a tropical place it’s easy because you can spot it, but what about in a dessert? Do you know how deep you’d have to go to dig a well and the tools you’ll need? It’s def not impossible. They’ll need a lot of rope and they can also dig woth their hands if they’re desperate enough. But imagine how hard it will be digging hard soil. Especially when you barely have any energy due to lack of food and water.
@@marekdg Not dumb, just lazy, waiting for western aid. If we want to finish with the needy, stop providing regular aid. Aid during a catastrophe is diferent from a permanent aid. The most impressive thing is knowing that they are surronder by sea full of fish but they donºt look to go fishing instead spend their time and energy chasing aid truks
Life? Yes especially when most people are voting for non life like huge food industries and France who take from this once green island. It's sad that death and pro death has become the norm.
Stop having so many children if u are poor and plant more trees then the situation will be solved. It's simple solution but hard to follow for poor people

Women and girls have no power in these patriarchal cultures. An aid worker could dispense free birth control and instruction and encouragement and the women will still be forced to have children by their husbands and in-laws.
Judging by the footage, the video takes place in the south, south west of the island, where it's becoming a desert at high rate. I can tell you that in almost every other corner there's tree everywhere. During cyclone season, the southern region hardly gotten any rain while in other regions was borderline flooding.
I spent some time in Madagascar a few years ago, after travelling to many different countries all around the world it was by far the worst country ive ever experienced, the locals had renamed it from the The Green Island as it was so lush, to now the Red Island as it is now destroyed and a wasteland... With zero guidance / plan they bred like crazy and consumed everything in there path, every tree etc has been cut down... With no power/etc throughout most the country they relayed on fire to survive, and as the guide told us without anything to do they just have more and more kids... I cannot explain the amount of children there, over 70% of the population are young kids with nothing.... Absolutely blew me away, and still does... People now cry of being controlled by the Governments in lucky western societies, but if you want to see what humanity will do with no government book a flight to Madagascar and see for yourselves what people can/will do.... They are lovely people, with a country that had so much potential... With fertile dark volcanic soils, great rainfall and climate they could have had it all, but have sadly over run it ... Apparently alot moved into the cities trying for a better life the guide told us, but instead found it even harder to compete there....The slums in the major city was next level. I hope somehow they can turn it around, it has spiraled so far out of control now it will take decades to get the balance back in check.... They have such a unique part of the world with great people, wildlife and a beautiful amazing country ... When i left there all i could think was they had no guidance and no plan, just fighting to survive ..... I wish them and there country all the best

This is not deforestation, it's just an arid region and DW is spreading fake news (see my reply above). These are bad journalists that do not have any sources.
Trees eat carbon. No trees more carbon.. hotter world. It's not difficult math.
Yes I agree with this Mò Zi. The people of brazil should take this as an example of what happens when you recklessly deforest huge areas for a few years of farming and fuel for the furnace.
And the people of madagascar should try some permaculture and reforestation.
Oh, wait. They allready took up all the reasons why madagascar is in this sorry state in the video. I should have watched the whole thing before i started commenting.
But they should really try to find ways to collect the rainwater when it comes. Or else it will just sweep away the soil in the process. Boring new wells is not really a solution. Just look at California. Not really a sustainable concept going on over there..
Harvest fog , desalination, distill water, plant bamboo and look to the sea for protein. Black people feed your selves.

I worked on a large farm for a while and saw all this, if all that food was put on the market the prices would be peanuts for the owners. I was in Cambodia where hundreds of families were self sufficient, living by the sea, and off the land for hundreds of years, the government tricked them and confiscated the land. Know what is growing there now? A five star hotel. Over fishing of the oceans for profit for the rich. Hundreds of miles of golf courses in the USA alone. Billions spent to create wars and weaponry. Believe me, there is more than enough for everyone, but the rich takes more than their share. So few with so much, so many with nothing
In time, places like this will become uninhabitable.
Low IQ places yes. Other places they replant the tees they cut down which initially caused the drought to begin with
It is just about polítics and economics. No country has been listening for the past 30 years what scientists alerted. And now they want us to believe they care. No real change is being done.

Being Malagasy, I wish I could do something to help my own compatriots. This could be avoided but the government does not want to get the situation solved as they are taking advantage of the crisis by being attributed international financial help. We have rain all along the year in the East and the project of pulling out water from the near region has been set in place for at least a decade ago, but so far it still remains a dream.
Recently, a student had an idea of sea desalination. He even came to build a homemade machine, something that needs to be supported but we did not hear a word from the authority. More probably he was told to stop or I don't know. This is a shame!

Did anyone see the Madagascar episode of worlds worst prisons. It was so crowded when they slept beside eachother they all had to be on the same side and someone would stay up and call out every couple of hours for everyone to turn over to the other side because that's the only way they could fit stacked like sardines. They had a shed full of these plant roots that had to be boiled for hours just to make them edible and thats all they got to eat once a day.

It's just that our government is so corrupted. They only care about themselves and just pretend "to help" the population. It's really difficult to get Madagascar out of poverty because our system education is out of date but still expensive so most people can't afford school and it leads to them not thinking properly, destroying our environment to only be the victim of their consequences later on.

The lack of rainfall in southern Madagascar has nothing to do with climate change, but is caused by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Just read Grove et al (2013): “Madagascar corals reveal a multidecadal signature of rainfall and river runoff since 1708”. They've shown the sea surface temperature (SST) of the Great Ocean and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) influence the amount of rainfall over the years. This is comparable to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (Leupold et al 2021).

@@finestshrestha4219 If you would actually read the scientific paper by Grove et al I referred to, you would know the effect of PDO is cyclical, and every cycle takes about 60-70 years.

People in Madagascar keep burning down their natural environment to grow rice and other crops. They dont farm sustainably. After depleting their soil, they just burn down some more bushes. It also doesn't help that the average woman has 4 children.

One oddity about countries like Madagascar is that the water shortage has been an issue for years, yet they continue to have children at a phenomenal rate - 3.9 per woman. This ranks them as 36th out of 193 nations. It is not fair to the children to bring them up in an area where it would be difficult to even raise one child. I realize this is an entirely different issue, but I wonder if the families give that any thought?
One oddity l notice, no one is talking here about the men, using women as cattle, pretending they're wives, so they can indulge in their urges....if any contraception needs to be implemented, its on them.
Yet, no one wants to expose and address this evil of injustice, eh?
No healthcare so you make more children so that 1-2 will survive till adulthood.
I think such decisions are affected by cultural values, rather than if one can or cannot
Same was the case in Yemen. They won't slow down until it's too late. They are not highly informed people and only really know what's right in front of them; they do not think about these types of things.

I remembered that there is an old woman said :” it should be rain at this time .” The climate change have a really negative impact on their life ,and what we could do as a tiny human being ,just trying to make some small actions , still remember that in the another side of this world ,they are suffering.

People talked about climate change a lot these days but no one has talked about the world population growth. Is there any connection between these miseries and uncontrolled human population growth? On this planet only human population is not controlled rather than other creatures which population are controlled by human wants! Take the population ballance of cows and sheep used to be in the invisible hands. But now their population grow with the human population growth. Surely human behaviours significantly impact on the environment they rely upon for surviving. While taking about climate change, human population growth problems cannot be ignored.
No, climate change and other environmental problems aren’t chiefly caused by overpopulation, it has always been greed. The richest 1% of the population emit twice more than the poorest 50%, the top 100 companies account for 70%+ of all emmissions etc etc. Make no mistake, environmental degradation is and has always been caused by developped countries.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
If the area used to have a lot of rain, there is likely to be aquifers under the dry land. Doesn't anyone in Madagascar have the simple technology to drill wells? Also, besides the edible cactus fruit the cactus is also edible. Mexicans call it "nopalitos". The "leaves" are scraped of the spines and chopped up and cooked.
Sorry but this has to be one of the most western comments I’ve seen… I guess if they had the simple technology or the means to drill a well they would have done it already. They’re not dumb.
And let’s say there are aquifers that can be tapped into… those will only hold as long as they’re refilled by rain that seeps in the ground and the groundwater will take it down to the aquifer. Otherwise it’s just a sort of happy hour for water till it dries up 😢
As someone who's grown up in a poor village, I highly doubt they have the technology to do this. They don't have the machines, the pumps, or the pipes to get the water out. They seem to be much poorer than the village I was from. I hope relief comes to the children and the people soon.
@Azuri e have you actually had to dig a well? How would you go about looking for where the aquifers are located? In a tropical place it’s easy because you can spot it, but what about in a dessert? Do you know how deep you’d have to go to dig a well and the tools you’ll need?
It’s def not impossible. They’ll need a lot of rope and they can also dig woth their hands if they’re desperate enough. But imagine how hard it will be digging hard soil. Especially when you barely have any energy due to lack of food and water.
@Azuri e anybody can dig a hole hut it don’t mean there will be water down there. May e they’ll find another kind of hole like you 😂

Where are the trees?!!! Madagascar use to be a rain forest 🌳. If you destroy the trees, you also take away your rain then you have droughts.
Judging by the footage, the video takes place in the south, south west of the island, where it's becoming a desert at high rate. I can tell you that in almost every other corner there's tree everywhere. During cyclone season, the southern region hardly gotten any rain while in other regions was borderline flooding.
Difficult to imagine how children survive the harsh environments
I spent some time in Madagascar a few years ago, after travelling to many different countries all around the world it was by far the worst country ive ever experienced, the locals had renamed it from the The Green Island as it was so lush, to now the Red Island as it is now destroyed and a wasteland... With zero guidance / plan they bred like crazy and consumed everything in there path, every tree etc has been cut down... With no power/etc throughout most the country they relayed on fire to survive, and as the guide told us without anything to do they just have more and more kids... I cannot explain the amount of children there, over 70% of the population are young kids with nothing.... Absolutely blew me away, and still does... People now cry of being controlled by the Governments in lucky western societies, but if you want to see what humanity will do with no government book a flight to Madagascar and see for yourselves what people can/will do.... They are lovely people, with a country that had so much potential... With fertile dark volcanic soils, great rainfall and climate they could have had it all, but have sadly over run it ... Apparently alot moved into the cities trying for a better life the guide told us, but instead found it even harder to compete there....The slums in the major city was next level. I hope somehow they can turn it around, it has spiraled so far out of control now it will take decades to get the balance back in check.... They have such a unique part of the world with great people, wildlife and a beautiful amazing country ... When i left there all i could think was they had no guidance and no plan, just fighting to survive ..... I wish them and there country all the best
charlie, so sad you don't have a clue what the root problem is.
Here's a hint: Japan has about half the land and 6 times the population of Madagascar.
Even today people dont think about biodiversity, sustainability, pollution control.
Deforestation clear problem. Goverment corrubtion second problem. UN involvement third problem.
population 1960 = 5 million, now 29 million, what could possibly go wrong ?
@@milesinnz Global food shipments derailed the natural balances. Giving nations and citys a illusion that they can support a bigger population then the land they live on.
@@guidosillaste4297 I think the population increase comes from a micro level... individuals bound up in illogical cultures and religions... and of course they then cry for the food aid because they cannot produce enough of their own...
@@milesinnz If the culture and religion were the cause then london would not be overpopulated neither would any of the mayor citys ,but all of them are overpopulated to the point that if trucks stop coming .... well then its bye bye for half the population. And none of them cried for food. UN force feed the idea to developed natins that we need to intervene and as we have time to be all emotional we give whitout thinking of the damage we cause to developing nations.
And large NGOs marget themselfs as the solution while pocketing 99% of funds.
PROFIT OVER LIFE THATS PEOPLES MOTTO IN THIS AGE.
@@guidosillaste4297 ah... it is IMMIGRATION that has created the problem in London.. same as Australia.. but we are not supposed to mention the "I" word for fear of upsetting the religious nutters. In the last few decades in Australia, the population has gone up by 25%... IMMIGRATION.. in NZ, the population has doubled.. IMMIGRATION.. all from desperate places where there are population explosions as a result of religion and culture... if none of these people cry for food, then why the hell do those that can leave these countries, risk their lives to become illegal immigrants in countries where they are not wanted... I guess you are so ignorant you wont know that most, if not all Africa countries are also members of the UN - are you this ignorant.. so try pointing the blame at other African countries.. there is plenty more I can say, but people like you just wet themselves and run for the exit.. it's hardly worth replying to the ignorant.. but then, maybe I am wrong.. please show me I am wrong.. or are you already running ?
What’s hurts the most people are starving I remembered in Cambodia 40 years ago
10:14 finally at least one sensible person is saying it aloud. I am glad it is also said by a local Woman, a woman of Colour.
And since they don't listen to women,and don't let them into power , it doesn't matter what she says , will only bring her troubles
This is quite tragic!
Please mothers stop giving birth.... it's unfair to the babies to be born in this kind of situation..be mercy to the new lives to come...
mothers dont get pregnant by themselves it's the men that make them pregnant so men need to stop making the women pregnant!

Maybe don’t have 7 kids
Oh I see your car is wrecked, maybe you should have bought a safer car.
Whether you 1 or 7 kids it wouldn't change the drought. There's just no rain.
@@nsubugajoseph7471 dumb statement.. if there were less people, then they need less water and food.. were you missing when the logic was handed out... ?
population 1960 = 5 million, now 29 million, what could possibly go wrong ?
"I don't know why the rain is not falling. Maybe because of us humans too. Maybe we don't love each other. Maybe this is why the rain doesn't fall..." 😢💔
