The Second Brain...
Deadly acid rain,
A peppermint to counterstain,No connection to our great cerebral vein,
This is the story of our 'second' brain.
From delicious cattle to a single apple, this is a continuous pathway for our food to travel.
With subtle movements and a miraculous momentum,
The grand design starts from our esophagus and leads directly to our rectum.
From protons, neutrons and electrons,
Amazingly, our second brain consists of over 100 million neurons.
The chemicals influence our mood and cognition;
The second brain also impacts sleep, memory and our recognition.
From a good or bad taste,
The process includes absorption and the elimination of our waste.
A speedy two-way communication,
The gut-brain axis is known to process our information,
The rival upon a healthy perception,
It is beneficial to know that unhealthy guts equal anxiety and depression.
As it is wired throughout your body like a connected train,
Intelligence is not only in your head, and that's part of the human domain.
Sensing when someone is not truthful can be an act without strain.
However, "trust your gut", as this is the work of your second brain.
