Today while working so hard under the harsh weather I became so tired but when I was just about to give up, I remembered that If I don't continue with my hard labour I may not be able to keep food on the table for my family who has now increased because my sister brought her two children to stay in my place for i don't know how long. One has already started school and now goes to school from my home but I must confess, kids these days can eat down a whole continent from what I've observed so far from my little niece and nephew. Though when their mother was little as the last born and baby of the family, I used to watch her consume a full plate of rice as if it's nothing.
Not only do my little niece and nephew today eat almost same quantity of food like the adults in the house but they poo poo big hard lumps of shit that makes you fear if it's an adult man shit. Because of the increase in price of commodities, even the price of diapers has reached its ceiling and for the fact the babies shit more than five times a day each, we have resorted to put them on diapers occasionally after all both of them have started walking about. One is about 3 years and two months old now and he is the senior one, a male child that acts and talks so maturedly like an old man in Grey hair while the second born of my sister is just one year and three months old now and looking very strong, fresh and healthy.
You need to see the way she takes her steps while walking and her fleshy hands by the sides like a powerful woman but she is just a little baby girl who is blessed with fair skin and to be honest she really looks beautiful. Though they wake us up in the middle of the night crying for food which we now always get ready before midnight, though they pee on my clean short knickers and trousers whenever I carry them on my laps, it doesn't make me to hate them but instead, I count it as a blessing. The first day my little niece peed on my clothes, it was like a hot water flooding me from the inside at first i was confused but when I realized what happened I felt a little embarrassed knowing this is not just water but a pee from a girl only the difference was she's a baby. I took it as a blessing because I remember these days when my mom used to tell stories of how someone insulted her because we peed on her clothes when we were little.

She actually said I myself peed in their pot of soup when I was still a baby and my dad who had witnessed that refused to eat that night after coming back from work tired as it was the only soup at home at that time.
My mom told me the stranger who insulted her by saying she should get out of the complex they met because she stinks of urine had no child of her own at that time. Mom told me that her reply to her was that there are many who cry and pray to have their own children yet they had non, she added that it is a blessing to be peed on by your little biological child.
I remember mom said, after she gave the stranger that reply and was about leaving, someone came up from behind her and asked her if she knew that the woman in the complex had not had any child of her own for many years since after her marriage and have been going for different medical procedures. The person was kind of grateful on how my mom gave her that reply but my mom said at that moment she felt really bad and sorry for the woman because her words must have deeply hurt her. Men are hustlers, we take risks, we are the fathers, we go to war, fight and die to protect our families and loved ones, we fight to protect our properties so our children will grow to take possession of it. We take hard and almost impossible jobs just to meet up with demands of our family.
We do not work for the benefit of ourselves sometimes, sometimes we work so hard just to pay for our wives and children hospital bills. Just when we are about to give up we remember our loved ones, how they will suffer and lack if we don't provide for them. sometimes in worst case scenario we lose our loved ones, sometimes our friends, lover or family relatives.
Though our tears may not be seen, we men bleed on the inside. Sometimes we don't shed tears even though we needed it sometimes but to strengthen our loved ones we suppress our tears but crack in our hearts. Sometimes we fall into the hands of some women who do not value our efforts and hope we do more, sometimes after hard labor and restlessness at work we come come to witness more trouble from our loved ones.

Song Lyrics
Sometimes we encourage our loved ones to stop crying when terrible things happen even when we're dying on the inside. Most times because of how difficult it gets and the risks we take to make things better most of us men don't live up to the average life expectancy of most women, we die earlier.
All men are super heroes yet less appreciated most times, it's just like the superheros in movies who do the works and disappear for another one nearby to receive the thanks and appreciation.
Though some men may appear not to be good but deep down most of them are hustling for something and it does not escape trying to make money and have a better life. Men are hustler, regardless there are good and bad ones of both genders. My loves goes to all men out there and the women reading this, I love you all.
