Like these poems, no?

Du thé


C’est bon Coca-cola.
Mais je préfère du thé, s’il te plaît !
C’est bon du thé avec du méchoui,
Non ?
Même avec du couscous
Je n’aime pas boire ce coca.
Ce que j’aime, moi, c’est
M’asseoir là, sous cet arganier,
Du rôti à la main
Et du thé;
Et, du fond du cœur de Radio Rabat,
Vient la voix de Rouicha
Chanter l’amour des montagnes.
Je ferme alors les yeux :
Je vois la neige et l’amour des sourds,
J’entends le guenbri pleurer à qui veut l’entendre ;
Et je pense à mon âme jumelle,
Celle qui est là-bas à Rabat.


Là-bas


Là-bas à Rabat j’ai un cœur qui bat
J’ai des lèvres qui, comme des lièvres,
Courent après celle qui, sans ailes,
Vole à travers ciel
Où l’on peut voir, matin et soir,
Des étoiles portant le voile
Dont la Lune fait la Une
De son journal !
La Lune, cette belle brune,
Ecrit, et crie, qu’elle aime
Celle que j’aime
Et que je ne connais pas.

Que m’importe ! Je fais en sorte
Qu’elle soit là-bas à Rabat.
Je l’aime. Je l’aime.
Je l’aime dans son voile.
Je l’aime chair et poil.
Et je l’attends tout le temps
Comme les gens des dunes
Attendent la lune.

Oui, je l’attends. Oui, je t’attends !
Et c’est de moi que tu te caches, chérie ?
Moi qui, si je ris,
Je ne ris que pour toi ?
Moi qui, si je chante,
Je ne chante que pour toi !
Et toi, qui me hantes,
Tu te caches de moi ?

I'm sorry I haven't the translation of the poems in French, but what about this one?

Would Sindbad be sad or glad
To be back in Baghdad?
Would he be happy
To stay amid boys and tanks?
Or rather say, “No, thanks! Bye!
I’ll fly to New York!”
Would he eat camel meat or pork
In New York?
Would he have milk and dates?
Or chips and Coke in New York?
Would he play the guitar?
Or the lute and flute in New York?
Would he study democracy at N.Y.U.?
Or tell the Arabian Nights in Jersey City?
Would he miss Layla in New York?
Would he like the people there
On Washington Square?
Would he fall in love in New York?
Would he say, “Get down, baby!”
Or, “If only you knew how much I care!”?
Would he go on air
And say, “Hi Bush and Blair!
No one’s lost, no one’s won.
Stop the war! And let’s move on!”

Would Sindbad tell
Morocco from Monaco ?
Would he eat couscous in Morocco
Or rather have tobacco in Monaco ?
Would he go to the World Cup
In Germany
Or rather shut himself up
In a tent in the Moroccan Sahara
To feel the harmony
Of Fareed Al Atrash’s songs
Or watch Fayrouz on Al-Jazeera ?
Would he join the throngs
In Marrakesh and eat and dance
And forget all about the world
From Micronesia to France ?
