I am Ahab
that terrible king
of self
Fate
a godless windup
ratcheting its red arms
Blasphemy
is an empty hatred
motored as I am
a blood-turned turbine
Hope
a harpoon
thrust towards the leviathan
Life
crushed to oil
Fuel
for the machine

Hi. My name is Jeremiah John. I'm a sf/f writer and activist.
I just completed a dystopian science fiction novel. I run a website which I created that connects farms with churches, mosques, and synagogues to buy fresh vegetables directly and distribute them on a sliding scale to those in need.
In 2003, I spent six months in prison for civil disobedience while working to close the School of the Americas, converting to Christianity, as one does, while I was in the clink.
