Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Woe not Begone

Prosopis juliflora is
A type of mesquite shrub brought to
Africa in well meaning biz
To help the farmers better do
Producing food and saving soil.
This mesquite did bring good but bad,
Causing the farmers troubled toil,
Slurping up water that be had,
And crowding other plant food out,
While not a real good food source be,
Making life harder all about.
Farmers call it the "devil tree."

An invasion not seen before,
This mesquite's spreading more and more.
