World Turned Upside Down
In sixteen forty nine, to St George's Hill
a ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the peoples' will
they defied the Landlords, they defied the laws
they were the dispossessed, reclaiming what was theirs
...........
You poor take courage, you rich take care
this earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share
all things in common, all people one
we come in peace, the orders came to cut them down
What is this poetry talking about, what is the mood and theme is this poetry?

The poetry is talking about a revolution/rebellion. The people are rebelling against the rich, who are probably corrupt...or that's what I'm thinking. The mood isn't sad or happy, it's just more of a warning to corrupt societies.
