What do you think this poem is about?

Isolation is not the salvation

You have no beloved- a sensual isolation.
You are not a beloved- an emotional isolation.
You have no friends- a physical isolation.
You are not a friend- a spiritual isolation.

    Very thought provoking..The mental images this poem creates are akin to holding something hot. You have no choice but to put it down! ! ! ....Much the same with this piece, I'll have to take a minute, let it sink in and viola, the message hits home...'you can choose to make isolation is a state of mind! !
