A compound word is formed when two or more words are combined to produce an entirely new word whose meaning is different from the meaning of the two words that formed it.
Examples of compound words used in the poem are:

The poet uses so many compound words probably to indicate that things are not as simple as they seem. A person cannot be judged on the colour of the skin and it is not all that easy to end racism or deal with it.
