Actions
If we meet and I say, "Hi,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's a 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 altercation.
If later we apologise,
That's reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.
And all these actions added up
Make civilisation.
(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that exaggeration?)
