Analysis of Don'T tell me
alexis karpouzos 1967 (Αθήνα)
Don't tell me
the stars stopped to dream.
Don't tell me
the birds don't fly.
Don't tell me
the kids stopped crying.
Don't tell me
the lovers are lost.
Observes the wonders
as they occur around you.
Listen blessings dropping
their blossoms around you.
