Don'T Demean Meaning

In my life, narrow margins matter Opening my eyes wide To better perspectives which don’t flatter Dispensable pride riding on the tide Where populism portrays norms To which I don’t subscribe Despite unusual forms and storms I ride although I can’t bribe the scribe Who espouses a culture that departs From humility to portray gullibility As a virtue from which servile starts Gain and regain infallibility Cultivated into a bandwagon That bends truth Into a notoriety nonagon Gone uncouth against a sooth Sayer satirized and ostracized For holding dissenting views Which I embrace in my italicized World where I don’t condone crews Who sail to my North Pole With wrong readings of latitude To ride in circles dug in a humbug hole Spewing and skewing the puniest platitude Elevated into a golden standard In ramparts and proportional parts So incorrectly computed by a laggard They conflate gallons of unwisdom and quarts Which in my metric world signify Confusion and contusion not just on the periphery But also at the core where midgets justify Unsubstantiated hypotheses which carry Out fallacy tests and infer Conclusions at variance with established benchmarks Scientific rigour and vigour prefer To award deserved marks To theories in which I believe Sustaining virtues of rigorous proof Which I declare anyone can perceive As the essential light to illuminate a rudimentary roof Although reality at first challenges The paradigm that devotes more time and space To fallacy and the supremacy that singe meninges and lozenges Which metamorphose a bluff believer into an agile acumen ace.
