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?)

--(Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic)
