Open your eyes like a newborn does
Discovering everything, all around us
Open your eyes and look right ahead
A brilliant future ahead of you waits
But have your eyes wide open
When stopping at the crossroads and choose wisely
Because the light expects those with open minds, move forward
Darkness will get those who refuse the knowledge, don’t stop
Open your eyes and you will see
There is no religion, no human authority
Your guide will come just from within
No sacred scripture, no eminent law
With misinterpretations to tell you no
Your are capable of all, just look up front
Open your eyes and don’t look behind
For there is the baggage and the heavy weight
Those who don’t want to understand
Humans stuck in the old ways
Believing they know what’s right and what’s wrong
Waisting your time in established rules
Don’t look back, you can’t change past nor people
But you can forge a bright future for yourself
Open your eyes and watch your sides
Be a dove, be a snake
At your right you might have some friends
Who don’t want to see you hurt
By the dark side of your enemies
But you also might have at your right
The most square minded companions
Who thinking doing good won’t liberate your soul
They will try to pick your brain
To convert you and at the end
Will you just accomplish to be one more slave
Going nowhere but in reverse
Beware of their hands
Open your eyes and watch your sides
Be a dove, be a snake
Because at your left your might have some friends
That will walk with you all the way to the end
But those who can also block your view
From what is true, from what is real
Those who converge to fight for what’s right
Using mistaken ways, decomposing souls as the go
Ignoring life’s only purpose
For which they feel aversion and displeasure
Taking you on a detour
And transform you into what you are not to be
Going nowhere but in reverse
beware of their hands, too
Open your eyes as a wise man does
Great wisdom and pure soul
Smile from ear to ear, life is short
Open your eyes and you will see
The truth is inside you
Be selective and follow your heart
Use your brain well in the interactions’ art
Open your eyes my friend and be
All paradise is right there in front of you
Your entire future for you to see.

Delightful poem, I really enjoyed it. But it didn't have much effect on me because my eyes are already open and looking to a bright future. However, there are a few missing or misused words here and there, you might want to look at punctuation especially when you ask questions. Some ideas will not make sense unless you properly add the necessary words. Like when you said "Darkness will get those who refuse the knowledge, don’t stop" add a but maybe? Or maybe I'm just not getting the exact idea. All in all wonderful idea for a poem and wonderful descriptions, that could use a few minor adjustments.
