Pendant trop longtemps nous avons détourné les yeux.
For too long we have looked the other way.
La terre, maltraitée et exploitée, en beaucoup d’endroits dans le monde continue de nous donner ses fruits, de nous offrir le meilleur d’elle-même ; les visages affamés nous rappellent que nous avons détourné ces fruits de leurs fins.
The earth, abused and exploited, continues in many parts of the world to yield its fruits, offering us the best of itself. The faces of the starving remind us that we have foiled its purposes.
