Cursed With Such Relations [Revised]

I accept responsibility for everything my brother “Peter Pan of
Neverland” accused me of: I’m accountable for it & will plead
guilty. After that revelation, “Peter Pan” insisted I evaluate his
criticism list applicable to all our family, & that, too, was easy.

He’d especially got short-comings applying to himself right, as
well as the rest of us of course. Then I suggested that our dad,
“Conan the Barbarian” was victim of child abuse & our mother
“Queen of Hearts” suffered emotional bullying; as such we all

Inherited questionable genes. So “Peter Pan” - I say - we can’t
discriminate, blind people can’t properly lead. “The peppery-
tongued Duchess” has my love and acceptance unconditionally
as my agreement. “Attila the Hun” - our eldest brother, lives life

A sleepwalker, my sister, the “Duchess” is safe with Pete - I am
privileged with Martin, but our youngest brother -“ Tom Thumb”
suffered most & ended up with no principles or a value system
but his bitter need for revenge. Thus agreeing with “Peter Pan”,

Choosing happiness rather than right - allowed him to focus on
his problem - making peace with being a broken human being
who could never realise full potential because of genes and a
dysfunctional home. Shocked at discovering how distant he is

From reality, blaming parents & siblings for our shortcomings
and failings since they contributed to his and probably made it
worse, “Peter Pan” is working through the same process I did,
& reorganised when starting to write poetry. If Peter Pan can

See past his bitterness I might later reveal aliases I coined for
all of us: grandma Alice “Cinderella”, mom “Queen of Hearts”,
Dad “Conan the Barbarian”, eldest bro “Attila the Hun”, & 2nd
“Peter Pan from Neverland”, twin sis the “Duchess”, I’m “Alice

in Wonderland”, youngest bro “Tom Thumb” fights windmills.
Today “Peter Pan” suffers alien emotional distress weirdness
of our being, accepting his criticism helps him understand why
we are as we are, I hope he will be able to come to terms with

it and accept himself - cursed with such relations…
