The mother says this about her son. The mother does not want to bring a baby into a dead world. There is nothing writing for the baby as the world takes its last dying gasps of breath. There is no hope, there is no love; there is no food. This speaks the theme of the futility of being alive on a planet that is no longer viable for human existence.
