In 1649 to St. Georg...THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN<br /><br />In 1649 to St. George's Hill<br />A ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the people's will<br />They defied the landlords, they defied the law<br />They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs.<br /><br />"We come in peace," they said, "To dig and sow.<br />We come to work the land in common and to make the wastelands grow.<br />This earth divided, we will make whole.<br />So it can be a common treasury for all."<br /><br />"The sin of property we do disdain.<br />No man has the right to buy and sell the earth for private gain.<br />By theft and murder, they steal the land;<br />Now everywhere the walls rise up at their command."<br /><br />"They make the laws that chain us well;<br />The clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell.<br />We will not worship the gods they serve:<br />The god of greed that feeds the rich while poor men starve."<br /><br />"We work, we eat together, we need no swords.<br />We will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the Lords.<br />We are free men, though we are poor.<br />You Diggers all stand up for glory; stand up now."<br /><br />From the men of property the order came:<br />They sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Digger's claim.<br />"Tear down their cottages. Destroy their corn!"<br />They were dispersed but still the vision carries on.<br /><br />You poor, take courage. You rich, take care.<br />This earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share.<br />All things in common. All people one.<br />"We come in peace."<br />The order came to cut them down.ericswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072533069898695243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-13887569512624140372010-09-19T06:20:22.958-07:002010-09-19T06:20:22.958-07:00Agenda 21 in Boston.
