"The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury

'Your's will be mine soon'                  Al Bundy faced the problem of finding out who's land was who's when his neighbor and him got into an argument over an apple tree. He called in a surveyor and they found out the tree belonged to Marcy, his neighbor, and Al became jealous. Al and his family then electricuted Marcy. Marcy retaliated when she found out that she owned Al's driveway. After that, Al was forced to pay …

…pretty sure the field will be dead within a few weeks. He called the rockets locust because with them they bought destruction called man and his greed.         Al and Marcy duked it out for control of the land between them. Both came out injured: Marcy being electricuted and Al in the dishing out 5,000 dollars to park in his driveway. Man did just the same in The Martian Chronicles. Man's lust with imperialism leads to destruction.
