Contentment

On a simple exchange
with a disgruntled crowd
the wandering mystic

Chose renunciation
to feel relaxed, instead of
getting agitated by denunciation

Urged forbearance
and patience, instead of
wickedness and anger

Suggested goodwill and
harmony, in place of
venom of hate and envy

Accepted all as they were
and moved on, blissfully
sharing the essence of love
