if you go for сож. after all, may I suggest "мир сожаление боль", a dactylic trimeter

not many people notice it but practically all Russian slogans since the Soviet times are single lines of verse, say, the iambic "НАРОД И ПАРТИЯ ЕДИНЫ" (the People and the Party are one), or the choreic "СПИЧКИ ДЕТЯМ НЕ ИГРУШКА" (matches aren't a children's toy)... so it's something that's irreversibly in the people's mindset.
