A safe world with those lemon fieldsA Story by Truths reflection
before the war and occupation of our enemies we used to have field filled with loads and loads of lemon trees. We used to go play in these vast fields. And whenever the lemons grew we used to go as groups of friends to harvest lemons from a group of trees, while each group did the same and at the end the owners of the land would let us have 12 of what we harvested and they used to make us fresh lemon juice to freshen up."
That's what my grandfather told me when I asked him about lemons. But really, I find it hard to belief. He says it like it is absolutely normal. But now I see nothing of it, I only see on TV, I see empty lands only filled with ashes. Lemons, what do I think when I hear that word? I think of my lost country, I think of the peace lost in the world, I think about how unique a lemon is. It is sour, but people like it because its different. I guess the real meaning of lemon to me, is the day in which I will get to see those lemon fields my grandfather talked about. And it is when I can sit in a garden with a cup of lemon juice on my right knowing that the world right now is a safe place, while I think about humans inventions and how the humanity is moving forward . And how I will be unique like a lemon so all people can notice me © 2016 Truths reflectionReviews
