explosion at the munitions plant!
arson suspected at chemical works!!
rumors of conspiracy - stocks plummet
government on verge of collapse
dr. mabuse smiles vacantly
ensconced in his straight-jacket, safely
behind bars for the public's welfare
feigning catatonia?
his eyes hint of intelligence
rumors persist of his latent powers
his peculiar brand of mesmerism
that enables him to see through other men's eyes
to act through the actions of others
but yet, his notebooks
are a matter of public record
all that he has written has come to pass
his denial of the basic tenets of civilization
a reign of evil, where the strongest will takes all
for it is only with the denial of restraints
the tedious mewling of priests and moralists
the ancient covenants with some rustic deity
that man can transcend the limits,
the bondage and yoke
of his own weak and pitiful nature
are these the ramblings of a madman?
the events of the past weeks
duly reported by respected journalists
and investigated by various committees
would seem to prove otherwise
