"When It's Said & Done"
By Gabriel Mythil, AKA "DASH"
This is not a game, this is not a joke, this is not what life is supposed to be about. Life is supposed to be about family, friends, joy, happiness. Its's also about money, nice cars, nice clothes, but at what cost? Is never seeing your loved ones again really worth it? not being about to do what you want, when you want, but instead being told what to do and when to do it. How to dress and when to wake up. In other words, you're no longer in control of your life. It might be a couple of months, a couple of years, and unfortunately for some the rest of their lives. The sad thing about it is some people settle for that. They get so accustomed to it to the point where they forget what it's like being free.
Well me I miss my freedom, I miss my family, and I miss the ones that did in fact loved and cared for me. But I was so caught up in my lifestyle that I forgot about the consequences of "thug life". What is "thug life"? Thug life is when you out there getting it, nice cars, nice clothes, money and hoes (sorry ladies) but forgetting that one day it will all come to an end. One thing I did realize is that "thug life" is not really what a lot of people are about. But they try to impress people, the wrong people. Also, because of the benefits, forget about the downfall.
Well this is from me to the upcoming of the streets. I'm not coming at you as a preacher, your parents or someone that's telling you how to live your life. Rather I'm coming at you as a young cat that was thugging but then realized that "when it's said and done" it was all an illusion. Yes, an illusion.
Client Feedback:
"I’m eighteen years old I have been in PanZOu for about four years now, and I’m proud to say that I love being part of the PanZOu family. PanZOu truly has an impact on my life, I remember when my father and I was struggling it was the summer of 2006, school was in a couple of months I did not know how was I going to school, when PanZOu told me that they were having a job training course and they were paying the kids who are attending and complete the training I was thrilled. I completed the class and I was rewarded with a beautiful paycheck. I used that money for school purposes. Three months later PanZOu helped me find my very first job which was at “Carvel ice cream”, I worked there for a year and half. If it wasn’t for PanZOu I don’t know where I would be right now.
PanZou has helped me to overcome my shyness and everywhere I ever worked was because of PanZOu, I am currently working at the City of North Miami Beach and I will never forget the PanZOu staff, Ms. Laura Kallus who has been a 2nd mother to all the PanZOu kids, my job training teacher Ms. Christine Keaney who helps the kids find great jobs and especially the person who have been there for me through thick and thin, my role model Ms. Mirva Cadet, she shows love toward all the PanZOu kids, she also gives us good advice. PanZOu Project is a blessing to my life as well as the community." - PanZOu Client since 2005
"Ms. Laura I don't only see you as boss lady of PanZOu I see a mom too.Last time I can remember somebody given me support like being at my court dates & keeping an eye on me when my mom was here. I won't never forget you Ms. Laura, from being a complete stranger you touch my heart in everyway. I got love for you, that from the heart. When I was young we didn't have a place like PanZOu to chill at like that - we always in the streets. Ms. Laura if them kids don't see it I see they blessed for having you put PanZOu in the hood like that. In a long run they will look back & think of PanZOu not only the ZOU but you too cause you touch everone's heart - old, young you'll find a way. I just want to let you know I appreciate you & PanZOu." - PanZOu Client since 2007
