Entitled, redux...

Charity my dear,
is something given to the needy
by snooty types
seeking to feel benevolent.

Admiration is given
with a bit of awe,
and an open hand.

Magnets have their polarities.
I never give anything
unless I wish to---
but when I do
the hand,
the head,
and the heart are open,
and I don't expect a thing in return.

Gratitude is for suckers,
and you don't strike me as a waif if need.
