    Bluff War

    The Bluff War, also known as Posey War of 1915, or the Polk and Posse War, was one of the last armed conflicts between the United States and native Americans. It began in March 1914 and was the result of an incident between a Utah shepherd and Tse-ne-gat, the son of the Paiute Chief Polk. It was notable for involving Chief Posey and his band of renegades who helped Polk fight a small guerrilla war against local Mormon settlers and Navajo policemen. The conflict centered on the town of Bluff, Utah and ended in March 1915 when Polk and Posey surrendered to the United States Army.

    Hardly Star-crossed Lovers

    by: Black

    I used to hide,
    I used to cry a lot,
    but now I don't
    It's you, you.
    When you smile
    the whole world's sky,
    when you smile
    I'm a star in that sky
    It's you, it's you.
    And we're barely friends,
    we're hardly star-crossed lovers,
    but who cares?
    It's you, it's you.
    When you smile
    the whole world's sky,
    when you smile
    I'm a star in that sky.
    It's you, it's you.
    It's you.
