The Tragedy of Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation
A Rhythmic Machine

A place so glorified. Held on an illuminated altar. Put up to efficiency and grace. Composed in 1937 from wood and mortar to be a haven for the imperfect. A place for healing and reconstruction. A place that makes the imperfect perfect with no visible side effects. A place that is free. A great dream and hope to help those less fortunate. Those who came out under, subpar to the rest of humanity in some fashion or other. Thusly, and the foundation was laid a structure built to house and help those lucky individuals who are deemed worthy of its magnificent aid. For appropriate symbolism the whole place was died in white. For we all know that white symbolizes light and all of its connotations. Greatness, healing, to make a new. To mend and change. This concept was born from a need and want to change. Today people better to help for the sake of it.
Sadly the execution has failed miserably. In the length of 10 years, I'm told this place has failed so far from what it once was an only has left reminiscence ruins of its former glory. Now I must be asked who suffers most from this lack of. The answers very simple. The recipients do not receive ergo they suffer. What do they suffer? That is a decent question. The answers something like this: it is true that do not lose anything they once had. They only lose a chance of something they could of had. This kind of laws is very difficult to measure. There is no scale for human potential. This place is glorified far away when it is looked upon from a distance it is a diamond of a spectacular cut and gleam. However when this supposed gem is examined closely you find it is nothing more then cubic zirconium and is for all intents and purposes aside from a fancy look, utterly worthless. Even after all these are discovered it still protests its glory to its whitecoat. This wide does not for me. It is no more than a cover a sea empathetic disguise accomplished with cheap paint, nothing more. What is the crime? Is hard to explain however it is there. This haven of white is ran by many agencies many people forces all coming together to create this wonderful harmony that is its inner workings. This mass administration does not work with a hole filled with persons of different need. Granted it is financially impossible to doctor the program for every individual. Everyone is forced into this mold which can cause more harm than good, but never on the paperwork never. Forcing someone into a mold can cause psychological or intellectual suffocation. No one cares. The staff is not paid to care. They are paid to administer care, not to. Another obstacle is the political financial and governmental complexities that I apply within each other creating a great netting. This netting prevents the service from allowing people and personalities through. The persons that being only care for paper and records, black and green. The only way this netting can be broken its apparently through money private funding from people with big names and larger bank accounts. Money is the only way to circumvent that netting of government policy and everyone knows it. Sadly in no one has the funds to break it. And this fact is the sadest one of all. Children and people will continue to be forced into the same to white and graceful-looking mold. People will bring to that will splinter one forced into that mold but no one cares. At this time you may be asking why this wonderful place still exists. Reputation and façade. It is that simple. The aim of this place is to, as I understand it: rehabilitate the mind, body, and spirit. That sounds so nice does it not? In my observation and experience it only accomplishes the adverse. In response to their statement I say the following: my body is more broken and will remain so my mind is idle and my spirit is dying. I stand protesting Roosevelt had a wonderful idea however the execution has fallen to pieces. I don't know why it is breaking only that it is. I compare it to the likeness of this Institution to a prison. Although they do avoid technical and legal definition of jail. It its a version of prison, in my opinion. This place is not glorious not great in any fashion. It was a wonderful dream and came to be but in short order has fallen to the realm of nightmare. Roosevelt warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation is a broken system. Regardless of what they say, I contend.



Oh yeah, Happy 4th
