He shouted out for all who'd hear
How great the house was he had made
That crumbled slowly at his feet.
He shouted loud for all to hear
How great the railroad was he made
As metal splintered, people died.
He shouted shrill for all to hear
How great his plan would be to save them all
When all were dying as a herd.
In silence built the other man --
The house stood great and strong
And shouted with its strength for all who'd see.
In silence built the other man
A railroad which networked a nation
To create wealth for all who'd see.
In silence built the other man
A business that would profit from his mind
And house and clothe and feed all those who worked for him.
The shouter saw the silent man --
He saw the threat he was to him and set out to destroy
But died instead from his intended sin.
