All Learned Pundits, Fake Fakirs, Reincarnations - Rendering Omar Khayyam Poem by Ravi Kopra

All learned pundits, fake fakirs, reincarnations
Of this or that god died saying this or that all life
What did they deliver? Nothing. Just frustrations
To already failed frustrated masses struggling in life.

-RK

XXVII.
Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'd
Of the Two Worlds so learnedly, are thrust
Like foolish Prophets forth; their Works to Scorn
Are scatter'd, and their Mouths are stopt with Dust.

- Edward Fitzgerald
