Wasted Youth

Eat and be merry
A glass of wine with cherry
Sparkling in eyes
Of vibrant young

 
Nothing of concern
Is discerned
Staring in bottom
Of bottle of booze
 
Youthful fun
Faded memories
Looking back on
Wasteful youthfulness
 
Experience, knowledge
Deep rooted
Produced wisdom 
From bottom of the barrel
