Existential puzzle

The worse I feel, the better I shit.
When I feel bright and breezy
shitting for me is not so easy.
Does my mood affect the balance
of bacteria  in my gut,
or vice versa ?

The older I get, the less I understand
myself and what I need,
people around me,
the human condition,
why we almost all suffer the misery of greed,
and have the impertinence to breed.
