Hello!
Your questions is incomplete. The complete poem is:
An Arab Shepherd Is Searching For His Goat On Mount Zion
An Arab shepherd is searching for his goat on Mount Zion / and on the opposite hill I am searching for my little boy. / An Arab shepherd and a Jewish father / both in their temporary failure. / Our two voices met above / the Sultan’s Pool in the valley between us. / Neither of us wants the boy or the goat / to get caught in the wheels / of the “Chad Gadya” machine. / Afterward we found them among the bushes, / and our voices came back inside us / laughing and crying. / Searching for a goat or for a child has always been / the beginning of a new religion in these mountains.

The whole text has cultural references. Mount Zion, by its use and historical significance, the "sultan's swimming pool", being a specific reference of an Arab culture and the Chad Gaya, for being a musical style. The Arab shepherd, however, enters more into the perspective of common sense, and could be seen, from an alternative perspective, as an emptiness of cultural meaning.

a. the Arab shepherd</span>
Because through satire, he makes an allegory criticizing the model of totalitarian society, more specifically of the Soviet Union created by the Stalinist regime. In the case of "Rebellion on the Farm," he does so through a fable, in which parallels are represented in the animals
In this way, we can understand the corruption, betrayal and lies towards the people that existed during Stalin's dictatorship in the Soviet Union.
That means in my opinion that if you have a friend that isn't down for you or isn't like you then u shouldn't be friends with them
I would say hopelessness because it talks about the person's faith being consumed
