This is a Korean style of writing called a "Sijo." It consists of 3 14-16 syllable lines. The first line introduces a situation or a problem. The second line “turns” the narrative in a different direction. The third line provides closure. (According to a popular teen writing site)


This poem itself is the Jews' thinking from Palm Sunday to Good Friday.
