							| a poetry break - poem for you 
 |  
							| 
ATIONS- Poem If we meet and I say, "Hi,"That �s a salutation.
 If you ask me how I feel,
 That �s consideration.
 If we stop and talk awhile,
 That �s a conversation.
 If we understand each other,
 That �s communication.
 If we argue, scream, and fight,
 That �s an altercation.
 If later we apologize,
 That �s reconciliation.
 If we help each other home,
 That �s cooperation.
 And all these ations added up
 Make civilization.
 (And if I say this is a wonderful poem, Is that exaggeration?)
