compound word verse
There is a worthy cause you see
could start a trend which needs to be
spearheaded.
Deal with arrogance, grand pooh-bah,
don’t act like some maharaja,
bigheaded.
Be stubborn and members you’ll lose.
Teamwork succeeds under one who’s
clearheaded.
What to do with folks who complain,
a leader in angst must remain
coolheaded.
Share the wealth and share applauses
lest you find your worthy cause is
deadheaded.

I used Rhyme Zone and How Many Syllables?
The latter lists both "coolheaded" and "deadheaded" as 4 syllable words. I count them both as having 3 syllables. Have contacted them about these two mistakes and await a reply.??
Have found all of my compound words online at Farlex Free Dictionary.
Things I learned
I can be saying something
and it comes true
God is the only one from whom everything comes from
So don't ask or get anywhere else
You are looking the wrong way
God will do the opposite
so don't count your sheep
and don't be too arrogant
cocky, bigheaded
God will give you a measure and you wouldn't forget
Nothing is permanent
Only God can make it permanent
Don't be too sufficient, efficient
as the only One who is is God
Don't audition for His job
Know He is the One who makes the ultimate decision
- not you and certainly not someone else
There are so much I've learned and you have too
But unless we learn and take heed
We are going to repeat the same lesson over and over
And I certainly don't want that
Want to go to next lesson, wouldn't you?
Where are those innocent faces?
I’ve been searching to the entire places
For some people happiness is just an illusion
They are hiding from the agony that is given
People watch people talk
With their heart closed in everywhere they walk
Throw away their intimacy to the water
And in their loneliness they stop gather
You just get upset too soon
Why keep hiding on that empty room
Still thinking that others done anything wrong?
And guarantee that your principal has made you strong
People forget when they are happy
With their money and all the jazzy
Sometimes your words are lack of wisdom
And family is a threat to built your kingdom
A little bit of danger will rise up their anger
Their heart and mind are always in high temper
People rise people fall
Only time will prevent them all
You’re nothing but a gold digger
Use weak people to make you wealthier
Once you find gold you keep digging for more
Treat people like soldier of toys good enough to control
The bigheaded psyche is in every angle
Their heart is worst than the devil
Only stick to their theory
The bigheaded psyche is a mad psychology
