Analysis of Truth Bleeding Free
Complex messages
need a simple structure
Otherwise,
a reader is lost
The shorter the word,
the greater the meaning
Its judgment by value,
never by cost
‘The straighter the blade,
the sharper the edge
‘The sharper the edge,
the deeper the cut
‘The deeper the cut,
the more fatal the wound
‘Victory certain
—the truth bleeding free’
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
