The main issue is that it lacks rhythm.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm curious what you mean exactly. It seems tough to establish rhythm in only 3 words, but that's not really something I'd considered before either

That's a good question. It's hard to articulate, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue that well. Both "say" and "truth" demand emphasis, and emphasizing two sounds in a three syllable slogan is too much. And the sequence of consonants at the end, "r-t-r", sounds unnatural. ("Say your truth.")
