Prof. Karp

I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me

About Me

I think for myself. I question authority. I have a lot of things that I dig. I'm passionate about everything I do.


"Our place unknown
Seemingly alone
Understanding of function and intention
A contravention
Solace in your perception of yourself
Sitting atop an ego throne
A reluctant member of society
Creating propriety
Beating truth and expression into submission
Societal transmission
Lost in thoughts and dreams in remission
Generations have generated futility
Blessed with miles of potential
Beyond exponential
Entrapped in a seductive seclusion
Of ego and confusion
Wasting away maintaining the illusion
Preclusion for what is inconsequential
Coerce you and self to discuss
Aspiring virtuous
Life is to enjoy, talents are to employ
Create while others destroy
Through deeds and labor come joy
Vigorous while rigorous"
- Prof. Karp
