There seems to be no rhyme or reason for Aleister Black and Bobby Lashley to collide, because the world teaches us that sometimes there is no reason or rhyme for conflict.
Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread.

It is cruelty to be humane to rebels, and humanity is cruelty.
When cruelty is inflicted on innocent people, it discredits whatever cause.
I was promised on a time - to have reason for my rhyme; From that time unto this season, I received nor rhyme nor reason.
I was promised on a time
To have reason for my rhyme;
From that time unto this season,
I received nor rhyme nor reason.
