Now is not the time to anonymously publish anything. It's just another way to not accept reponsibility.
The New York Times
and
The Op-Ed from a Senior Official
By Franklin Price
9/8/2018
The New York Times has crossed the line, at least that's what I think
The op-ed published anonymously has driven me to drink
This well known publication has further stirred the pot
The New York Times is questionable. Was it a cabinet post or not?
The cabinet's there to give advice, that's why they're put in place
To publish such an essay is a hard slap in the face
I've perused the essay many times, reads in a journalistic way,
As if not by an official, with important things to say
I'm not saying it's all fake news. That would make me just like Trump,
But I believe someone assisted to make an even bigger bump
Whoever or however this Op-ed came to be,
The author should step forward for all the world to see
We the people are so very tired of the finger pointing hand
Come out and show us who you are, your Op-Ed shows us where you stand
Anonymous is detrimental to this country at its core.
To accept responsibility is what such power's for.
No doubt that Trump is different, much that's written's on the spot
Adds to fare on which we feed. Boils water in the pot
The author should step forward after all he is the cook
Show his face for who he is, a whistle blower or a crook
