The Experiment [in the name of The Great White Almighty]
I.
i vanished.
and.
i am vanishing.
as a secret
that remains untold,
that lies down with the dead,
as though it had never lived.
that it could be recruited
for the Great Experiment
to quench the thirst
of the Great White Hope.
who cannot feel complete
without taking on a good deed
to love and to hold and to cherish
to mold and to form and to push
into their image
into their arms
into their calculated world of privilege
where everything and everyone is
Perfect.
Pristine.
For the Viewing--
Look at
my Little Black Doll.
Gawk at
my Golden China Doll.
Covet
these Beautiful Ethnic Children
behind the thin glass walls
With their mothers and fathers
brothers and sisters
grandfathers and grandmothers
weeping at their feet.
the Great White Light
will not see you
the Great White Trumpet
will not hear you
the Great White Wisdom
will take you.
away.
from it all.
Because you do not need what the Great White All
can not give.
Because you want what the Great White Almighty has.
It is Divine.
It is. My.
Mandate.
And it has the papers to prove it--
balled up in its fist.
You can not compete
with
the Law of Green and White.
By which all abide.
II.
And now that it is too late
to retrieve
that whom was thrown away.
You are trapped.
Away.
And although it is never too late to.
submit to.
the Law of Green and White
will not.
get you out.
Not this time
it will not save you.
Not in this life.
For, do you not know, dear,
you have already been saved.
from the Person
the People
the Language
the Land
the Family
the Love
you might have been
nothing
no one
without us.
III.
So be sure to fulfill your obligation
And utter with profusion
the gratitude
of being granted the mercy
of being permitted the opportunity
to be strapped down to the tails of its coat:
you are welcome,
my darling,
as long as you
silence the wailing lump
trying to escape from your precious little throat
where your insignificant
whining
impotent
voice resides
no one will listen to
you were just an
experiment,
just another subject,
statistic,
dot. on. a. line.
of the Great White Graph,
that the Great White World will choose to
dismiss,
will choose to
forget,
will lock in a box,
All for.
All in.
the only name that exists,
all hail, America,
all of you,
all of us,
everyone,
all in the sacred name.
of:
The Great White Love.

I am a Korean adoptee who has been in reunion since 2009. I am also a wife and a mother of two, a sister, a friend, a relentless questioner of the status quo. I love my adoptive family and I hate being adopted. I love the life I have but wish I could have grown up with my family in Korea. My life as an adoptee is an ever-evolving journey full of complexity and seeming contradiction.
