Changes With No Change

Nothing is the same, and why
Doesn’t mean a thing
It’s a carpet bombing try
In the fullest fling
It’s a game no one can win
But we ought to play
Or to mimic that we’re in
Living for today
Nightmares getting far too real
What a shame for all of us
Neanderthals broke down the deal
With the Pithecanthropus
Questions here are as useful
As if you would ask the beasts
For their instincts; why so cruel?
How on earth they’ve come to this?
Now the future looks preset
Nothing happened, that wasn’t to be
Toss me please, a cigarette
If you have the one for me 
I shall try to smoke, though I
Quit that habit long ago
The sea won’t ask, the wind won’t cry
There’s no change in waves galore.
