I was my first Guru: I am my first Disciple
When all the roads were blocked
When all the traffic lights turned red
It's I who invented this bylane
Having invented, it's I who followed
Yes, I am my first Follower
When all the religions became bigoted
And turned the secular me an outcast
It's I who founded 'Irreligion'
Having founded, I followed and divinised it
Yes, I am my first Disciple
When all schools closed their doors on me
And barred the eager me from my rightful education
It's I who opened the no-doors-no-walls school
Having opened it, I admitted myself as my Pupil
Yes, I was my first Guru
And I am my first Disciple
