Lisa Eckhardt: The advantages of the Vice

Not everything was bad under God. Good, for example, was that everything was bad. For all that was done was sin. But then God died unexpectedly of chronic boredom. So the fun came to an abrupt end. Today, ice cream companies, electronics stores and every second pop song are dragging the seven deadly sins into the mud: We were allowed everything and thus everything was taken away. Polyamory spoiled the fornication. All-You-Can-Eat buffets denatured gluttony. Facebook shamed vanity. First-person shooters liquidated the irascibility. Wellness hotels softened sloth. They all meant badly, but no end justifies mediocrity. That's why we need to reinvent sin.

Lisa Eckhart, author and cabaret artist, began as a poetry slammer and has recently been awarded numerous prizes. She easily upstages her older male colleagues and also challenges her audience in a non-conformist and eloquent manner.
