The Commentary

The living god inside you
Way too early in the morning to be tossing this one about - combine the ideas of non-conformists, counter culture theorists, some very notable scientists, Buddhist scholars and a big bag of recreational pharmaceuticals and you'll be close to it. 

Coca Cola bleeding ground water robbing communities
This  probably refers to the brilliant Mark Thomas and his investigations into the unimpressive shenanigans of the worlds favourite fizzy brown water maker.

Blowfish liver
This is the one that is really bad for you isn't it? Yes it is. Apparently now comes in non-toxic variety after the death of some 'thrill-seeking amateur cooks'.  Thrill-seeking cooks?

Auspicious things
Are good. My writing it down without context is bad.

When we speak of the future devils laugh.
I've also seen this proverb as 'When.... the gods laugh'. So we mustn't think of the future at all or else both sides of the great cosmic game of silly buggers will laugh. Spiteful gits.

The time for prayers is passing
I appear to have come down with a touch of apocalyptisisis   

Electric sheep
Why I jotted this down  remains unknown. Most readers will know this as reference to the original title of the book Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep? which became the film Blade Runner. To bulk out this entry take a gander at this I think he'd have been a bit chuffed a bit flattered and a just a wee bit paranironyoyd.

Like a goth at a funeral; appropriate clothes and atmosphere but you can't help thinking they may actually be enjoying themselves.
This may have been a useful descriptive metaphor but I have singularly failed to say who or what the 'Like a' is in relation to thus rendering it useless.

Reasons to be cheerful
J.D addiction
J.Dless lady J
Decadence
Burn off corruption and sin
In the light of your rightful way I will shine
You are the cave in which I will keep
and guard the real treasure worth guarding

Is this bit of introspective shabby doggerel really worth any comment?
Reasons to be cheerful must allude to the great Ian Dury's meditation on coping with depression.
JD probably standing for Jack Daniels and Lady J is probably short for Jay which is slang for a joint.
J.Dless is just a nonsensical way of saying no jack daniels.   
So all in all I think this is a wholly unoriginal stoners self-regarding hymn to his high, his herb & his self.  A major problem when you are in a long term relationship with Mary Jane is she can blow your mind but she will keep you in bed long after you should have gone back to work.


Give him enough dope and he'll bong himself
This doesn't really even make sense.
