Passage 3
The city square was a battlefield of ideas, where words clashed like swords. Protestors waved signs, their slogans sharp as thorns: "Freedom Now!" and "Justice for All!" Across the square, counter-protestors stood firm, their banners proclaiming "Order Must Prevail!" The mayor, perched on a podium, spoke with a voice smooth as silk but heavy with irony: "Isn't it wonderful how we all agree on peace?" The crowd roared, some with cheers, other with jeers. He continued, "Don't we all want a city where everyone thrives?" His questions hung in the air, unanswered, as the divide between the groups grew wider, like a rupture splitting the earth.
