Job 39:13 - The Message

"The ostrich flaps her wings futilely—
   all those beautiful feathers, but useless!
She lays her eggs on the hard ground,
   leaves them there in the dirt, exposed to the weather,
Not caring that they might get stepped on and cracked
   or trampled by some wild animal.
She’s negligent with her young, as if they weren’t even hers.
   She cares nothing about anything.
She wasn’t created very smart, that’s for sure,
   wasn’t given her share of good sense.
But when she runs, oh, how she runs,
   laughing, leaving horse and rider in the dust.
