The Giant Family

This 14 letter word gets destroyed easily
When you start ignoring the problems that you can see vividly

Here's a story that I would like to tell
There's little to say but much to tell

Once there was a family who lived like happily ever after
Whatever happened in the house was much more than a natural disaster

Oldest member of the family was himself so biased
He divided the family into three triads

His better half was far better than him
The noble soul departed for she has to pay for his sin

Her departure unfolded the next page of the book
Known faces now had the new look

One of the triad was heavily threatened
The biased man still stood there without any word unsaid

I always do wonder that what he waited for
He knew , even the sweetest fruit mango has some acid that makes it sour

Excluded triad was left alone amidst the crowd
The two's sinful words added black color to their shroud
 
They were crushed, broken, trampled on the floor
They still had their mast high , for they had not lost sight of the shore

Every day was made so special with so many surprises
They were always ready to cater to needs of their princesses

Worked day and night to secure our future
You don't know the plight, they always had their hands dipped in cold water

Today it has turned from bad to worse
The two's have decided to make it the worst

After the juvenile has to come senescence 
All this happened because garden lacks the  gardener's presence 

The gardener forcefully holds the wreath
Yet he is aware that flowers have lost their breath

All his efforts lie in vain
Sky is all clear but I wonder why it still rains...
