I took the liberty to contort the term “the truth is concrete” to
“If the truth is concrete, dann ist Beton eine Luege.
Here in Austria “concrete” makes me think of “Beton”.
Beton ist des Oesterreichers liebstes Baumaterial.
Throughout the land we hear the toilsome hum, of the electric motor
that powers the melodic slosh of the concrete mixer.
Every home owner has a machine of this type,
every mayor has laid concrete across the town center,
every meadow is markedby a through-way in cement,
every basement has a concrete bunker-annex
and every policeman pilots a cement mixer.
Somit ist die Wahrheit in Oe. nicht “concrete”, sondern eher nur aus Beton.
