THE MAN

You have to be silent amid the violence,
You have to be strong but with calmness.
Resilience is not an option for you.
You are the man of the company,
You need to stand up and hold tight to the command.
Raise the flag, pull your weapon —
Weapon of lies with strong belief,
Inner honesty spotted in the corner.
Begin the carnival, it's a cruise
Of steel-hearted people serving
To a cold-hearted man who became cold
Because of the demise of his honesty
Due to the harassment of love he did.
Be the man, become an illusion
And a liar to society.

Is this about a lawyer or politician? They seem to be best at lieing, but I guess it's quite an art.

It's about a man of any profession.How he can loose his job without lying at same time has to be confident about it. Sometime he lies to hide his emotions like fear, love, caring,etc.
