All trees provide some value to the world.
Regardless of how one may feel about a tree.
The argument can be made for or against.
I have those invasive kind on my land, a lot.
Long ago brought by good intentions hand.
They are hard to kill, but rot from within.
Dropping thousands of seeds to spread more.
Stiff winds will split their hollow core, easy.
Just still heavy enough to cause damage.
They look wicked and tall, begging to stay.
My chain I run though them one by one.
Offspring arrive before their parent cremation.
So with my blade I strike down to the root.
The temporary shelter not worth the cost.
Efforts never ending with my blade and chain.
With neighbors too busy to notice their own,
the air the clean is choking out their land.
