Animadversion ... What?

Today's word is "animadversion" ... an-uh-mad-VUR-zhuh n ... an unfavorable or censorious comment; the act of criticizing. (dictionary.com) 

What?
Can there be freedom,
     where there is no animadversion?
No conflict, surely
     but no discussion to inform.
And if One Idea reigns,
     where will the dissenters go?
Sent behind bars to silence ...
     or worse?
Speak to each other. Listen.
     Let the words intermingle,
          until they write a new resolution.
