"How could God permit such great misery?"
The Haitian peasants answer with a proverb: "Bondye konn bay, men lipa konn separe."
In literal translation: "God gives but doesn't share."
Farmer went on to explain, "God gives humankind everything we need to flourish, but He isn't the one who is supposed to divy up the loot. That charge was laid upon us."
