Immaculate Deception

Now, I'm like you
I'm a martyr to
A certain cerebral prowess
I take my views
From the online news
And I'm satisfied, more or less

That by renown
When the chips are down
I'm alive to what is what
I recognise
And can emphasise
Realities that most cannot

I'm so at ease
With my expertise
Which in fairness is wide-ranging
And quite by chance
My partisan stance
That's remarkably unchanging

Some friends have held
That I feel compelled
To reluctantly refuse
To countenance
Any awkward stance
That will contradict my views

There's a little doubt
So, I now find out
That others' opinions vary
As you will guess
I try to suppress
Everything that is contrary

A point I make
For clarity's sake
Is, whatever people call us
You can rely
On the kind of guy
Who knows his views are flawless

I cannot share
Any moment where
I've ever been inconclusive
Yes, some allege
At the cutting edge
I often may seem abusive

But my expertise
Can be shown with ease
It's laid out for all to see
From end of life
Through cultural strife
To epidemiology

I've had my fill
With the rumour mill
Distributing malicious fictions
I tell you now
That I can't allow
Any room for contradictions

From near or far
Whoever they are
They come a-flocking to my standard
Maybe because
No one ever was
Even once so sorely slandered!

Any surmise
I might compromise
Is a total misconception
I'd call bizarre
And I'd go this far
An immaculate deception!

Though I dismiss any thought
Is this an arrogance worth pursuing?
It may seem odd, but I hope to God that I know what I am doing
