Suffering Yet

I have yet to know true suffering
I have known sadness
I have seen despair
But I have not suffered
I have not walked barefoot and blind
I have not known an empty table before me
I have not felt the crashing waves of starvation
I have not seen the pride in my child’s eyes die
I have not known true pity
I have not seen true charity
I have not smelled fear
