Ations

If we meet and I say hi
that is a salutation.

If you ask me how I feel
that is a consideration.

If we stop and talk awhile
that is a conversation.

If we argue,scream and fight
that is an altercation.

If we later apologise 
that is reconcialiation.

If we help each other always
that is co-operation.

And all these actions added up
Make up civilization.

(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that an exaggeration?)
