On the Passing of Emile Griffith


Benny Paret’s body went into a bag
After he called Emile Griffith a fag.

No one would suggest that his actions were sound
But homophobes would think twice when Emile was around.

    Five cowards vs a 54-year old on that tragic night.
    My money would be on Emile if it had been a fair fight.
